English is not my first language. What is "drop shipping"? Dropping packages from a flying drone to save on costs?

Not to divert the topic too much, but I have always been a huge supporter of UltiMachine filament, never had problems with their filament, it's always quality. I believe they manufacture it in-house (i.e. it's actually their filament).

They get it from Toner Plastics.
I wonder how it stacks up against 3DXTech. I've only bought "cheap" filament once, but they look refined and clean. Cheap in price, but I'm not sure I would call it cheap.

Couldn't pass up the MicroCenter deal though. Picked up a few spools at $15.99/spool. Incredible deal compared to what I'm used to. Have had really good results with the Toner Plastics brand from MicroCenter. They only carry 1.75mm at that price though.

This is incorrect AFAIK. They resell filament made in the US from a reputable supplier. I won't name names since it's not my supply chain.
That said, I only buy filament from Ultimachine. The quality is excellent and consistent. I tried cheap filament and concluded it was not worth the cost savings. It only takes 1 failed print due to mis-spooled filament or diameter swells to more than cancel out any cost savings.

UltiMachine About Us
Print Materials - We find, test, and contract out the production of high quality 3D printer polymers. We got our start in the industry in 2009 by arranging for the first successful productions of PLA 3D printer filament in the USA. We had help from some all stars in the RepRap community who helped test the different polymers and determine the best one. Since then we have worked with the extrusion factories to refine the tolerances and improve the product.
$300 worth??? holy chit and i thought i had a problem lol.Quote

I couldn't pass up the deal either, and picked up about $300 worth in early July when the sale was on. I twisted my ankle walking out of the store carrying all of those spools in bags like a pack mule, and am *still* not completely healed over a month later.....

The 3DXtech stuff is packaged so nicely that I'm hesitant to break the seal!
