Hello!
Yves-Pascal Dion's website appears to be down until September, does anyone happen to know where I can get Cornell Insect drawers for a reasonable price? I am young and can't afford outlandish prices that BioQuip and other retailers I found offer. Any suggestions would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's cheaper to make you own cases. I make mine for half the price. I also make my own cabinets.

I do not have the time to do so between a full time job and other priorities, responsibilities, and other commitments.

Check the classifieds. There's a guy in Tucson, AZ making them. Never dealt with him, but his prices beat BioQuip's.

I think Yves-Pascal Dion gets his drawers from Jean Paquet in Quebec. Google Atelier Jean Paquet and it should come up.

I think you still have the sites mixed up. I just did an order tonight with Jean and he said he would ship soon. Pascal's site has the note that he's away until September.

Does BioQuip still sell the unassembled drawers? That's what I used, once you get the glass cut you can assembly yourself in about ten minutes each and save a fortune.
