Prices
The prices listed below are "one-time" costs. This is not a lease, and you do not need to send us any revenue splits. You own the Well, control where it is placed, and all the revenue it produces. In that sense, you are "buying" the income along with the physcial device.
The Two and Three-Footers come with everything you need to put them into service immediately, including a 2-sided generic 4-color "Proceeds go to" poster that fits inside the clear sign frame, a padlock and 2 keys, and the other items described and pictured on the "What is included" page.
***This paragraph posted July 16, 2008*** Please note that with the rapidly increasing prices of petroleum (the primary component of plastic and fiberglass), our vendors have to keep raising our prices, almost weekly. We absorb much of these increases so we don't have to change our prices as often. But we anticipate another price increase in 30 to 45 days. We can’t predict how much that will be, as it depends on the price of crude and whether or not it stabilizes.

*GRANTS FOR NON-PROFIT USE: ProjectKindness.org is currently providing assistance grants for non-profit use. The size of the grants vary with sizes and quantities. If you are a non-profit organization, or if you are purchasing the Well(s) to raise money for non-profit organizations or projects, please call us at 1-937-384-0003 (Eastern United States) or send us an email and tell us about your proposed usage, and we will let you know what Grants are available.
Rental Options: If you are interested in borrowing or renting a Well, please click here.
How to get your Well FREE (Sponsored): Be sure to review our Sponsorship page so you can see how easy it is to get someone else to pay for your Well.
Color Upgrade: The standard funnel color is white. Click here to see alternate funnel colors that can fit your logo colors and décor.
Churches, Schools, and short-term campaigns, click here for special information.
Attention Science Teachers: Do you want a large funnel without coin launch ramps for your science demonstrations? We have some special educational options available for you. Please contact us and ask for "teacher options".
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling for Three-Footers (two oversized cartons) shipped to a business address* is $65.00 in the Continental United States. Two-Footer shipping (one oversized carton) is $45.00. Please inquire about shipping costs for multiple units or international destinations.
*Shipping to residential addresses is considerably more because they have to send a special smaller truck for these large packages. So if you have the option of shipping to a business address, you can save that extra fee.
Crating and Packaging: There is no additional cost for the oversized packaging for the Two and Three-Footers. See below for crating and shipping costs for the Seven Footer.
Sales Tax: Please add 7.5% sales tax if you are in Ohio, or supply your tax-exempt documentation.
Financing is available for larger quantities. Please inquire.
Shipping Cost Savings: If you are interested in getting any of the small mini-well Vortx's, there is room in the open spaces of the large cartons used for shipping the Two or Three-Footer Wells. Since the shipping rates are based on the dimensional weight (size) of the boxes rather than the actual weight, we can add up to 30 Vortx's with a Three-Footer and up to 20 with a Two-Footer at no additional shipping cost. Therefore, if you want any Vortx's, ordering them at the same time as a large Well will save a lot of money. Click here to learn how you can raise additional income by selling the toys in your gift shop or store, or if you are non-profit organization, by giving them away FREE for a $25 or greater donation.

Additional Seven Footer Details
Even though the Seven Footer is more expensive than the other sizes, the great news is that it is EASIER to get it sponsored than the smaller sizes. There is no need for a museum, zoo, host store, or charity to pay for it when there are other businesses who would love to get their name on it since it is displayed INSIDE a popular retail store or attraction.
See Sponsorships for pictures and more information about getting your Well paid for by someone else.
The basic Seven Footer includes the funnel with its 8 built-in ramps, an enclosed and secure base welded to the funnel, and a door with a lock and 2 keys. Click here to read detailed descriptions and see close-up pictures.
Sign options allow you to use our generic or custom printed sign, or you can make your own.
Is our sign required? No, not at all. You may not want to use a sign, or you may want to hang a sign from the ceiling or display it by some other means.
Seven-Footer Sign Option Descriptions |
Price |
| 3/8" (0.952 5cm) x 104" (264cm) Fiberglass arc rod. If you order a rod, we will drill the mounting holes in the ramps and weld a receiving block on the inside. If you only order the rod, we will assume you are going to make your own signage to affix to it. The rod will be included in the package, ready for you to insert into the mounting holes on the ramp stations. If you do not order a rod, we will not drill the mounting holes into the ramps. | $50.00
|
| Matching curve sign board out of 1/8" PVC Sentra plastic, available in a variety of colors. Sign blanks are drilled (5 holes) and include 5 black plastic zip-ties for easy mounting to the fiberglass rod. If you order the sign blank, we will assume you are going to have it printed locally. (*price includes fiberglass rod) | $28.00
|
| Generic 4-Color Printing, Laminated, printed front and back with space for you to place the charity recipient (under "Proceeds go to"), and nothing in the lower corners where you can affix something that designates a sponsor, the Vortx offer, or anything you wish. This allows you to change these elements from time to time without the expense of having to purchase or make a new sign. (*price includes fiberglass rod, sign board, and laminated generic printing) | $135
|
Custom 4-color digital laminated printing of whatever you want on both sides such as the Habitat for Humanity sign on the Well pictured above. Click here for a template. (*price includes fiberglass rod, sign board, and custom laminated printing) Layout and Set up: If you supply the "basic" layout of what you want, we will make simple sizing and arcing layouts at no additional charge. Otherwise, the minimum charge of $55 would apply and would probably cover the entire custom layout cost. |

Crating and Shipping Cost for Seven Footers
Seven-Footers are custom-crated (completely sealed in rugged padded shell) and strapped to a pallet. Finished packing size, including the pallet is 40" x 76" x 76" (102cm x 194cm x 194cm) and weighs 150 pounds (69kg). It is possible to un-strap the enclosure from the pallet and hand-lift it off the truck. Two average strength men can lift it, but four people are better. It is not terribly heavy…just bulky. Be advised that it may arrive in a large truck as we do not have any control over the size of the delivery vehicle.
Crating cost is $95. This is waived if you are able to pick up the Well at our factory in Lebanon Ohio. This would require a pick-up or other similar vehicle.
Shipping varies depending on the location, ranging from $150 to $825 to USA and Canadian destinations and closer to $1,400 for international locations. Please call us at 1-937-384-0003 (Eastern USA Time Zone, +5GMT) or send us an email with your ship-to destination, and we will get a firm shipping quote for you.
Coin Guide Option
If your Seven-Footer will ONLY be used for physics demonstrations with balls (ball bearings, marbles, bb's, etc.), you can order it WITHOUT the clear plastic coin-guides on the top of the ramps shown here. Otherwise, we will include the coin-guides, and you can still use it for demonstrations with balls since they don't need to be launched from the top of the ramps.
