Never had any extra parts dropped in my box but I can say that carolinas price is usually cheaper than amain to begin with and they have a beter discount program. I also agree they are much nicer and friendlier to deal with on the phone. I had 2 orders that were over 250 at amain before and you can onlynise the coupon once so I called and asked tomise it again, they told me tuff you can only use it once. I didn't think that was very good business. Carolinas has alwYs taken the time with me on the phone I always leave with a smile.
