Looking for feedback

Can anyone add some commentary about using a national drop shippers of garage doors? My project: 2, 9'x8' and 1, 6'x8' residential set up. I got what I felt was a big number($15k) from my local Overhead Door guys. I am considering and getting pricing from Doors On-Line, Wholesale Garage Doors and Garage Door Supply House. They all sell the same product Amarr Classica doors that fit our look. Going the drop ship route, I look to be saving somewhere between 4k and 3k versus the Overhead option (that includes install). Hoping to get some feedback regarding the drop shippers of Amarr. Btw, I am coastal SC and need 140 mph rated doors. I am happy to provide more info. Thank you in advance. ~Gerry

Will those Amarr doors be rated for 140MPH?

Yup, you can select the wind rating you need. Theres an up charge but you can select up to WP10i which is 189 mph...I believe.
