Discounts available for ProtoSpace members
Discounts
Calgary Bolt Supply House 15 March 2015
Discount varies by volume and type of product, but can be significant State that you are with "Calgary Protospace", and their computer does the rest. While it may work at other locations, the location near us (on 12th) knows us well and goes out of their way for us.
Solarbotics 15 March 2015
We do NOT have individual discounts. There is access for organized "group buys" done through Protospace, but the details are changing. Byron, Jim, Dave and Liz (from Solarbotics) are working on it. Solarbotics supports us in several ways, including that box of small acrylic we've been using for the cutter, and other donations (as recently as today).
Kensington Art Supply 15 March 2015
Not in Kensington :) 10% off May be asked to show your ID card*
Memory Express 15 March 2015
Cost + 8% on computers/components. Cost + 10% on Consumer Electronics. 15% of retail packaged accessories. Note that this is an "Employee Purchase Program". Future discounts will be based on what we purchase this year, and could end if it's not used. (They are also not used to "members". If they call you an "employee", just go with it.) Identify that you have an EPP discount under the Cash Account for Calgary Protospace Ltd. Expect that you will be asked to show your ID card*
Samuel Specialty Metals Calgary 15 March 2015
9112 – 52nd Street S.E. Discounts available, but conditions apply. Speak to someone who's familiar with the process before your first order.
ACT Equipment Sales Ltd. 15 March 2015
Mostly for machine tooling tools and accessories. Speak to someone who's familiar with the process before your first order.
Notes
Note that at most vendors open to our members (with or without discounts) there is a cash account (that can't be used for purchases on term credit), under "Calgary Protospace Ltd." Note that puts us under "c", not under "p".
- Now, what's this you say? ID Cards?
Some of the vendors want tighter control than others on who accesses discounts. New members have been automatically getting Protospace ID Cards since the late summer. Some existing members or members with RFID Fobs (as opposed to cards) may not have them yet. To get yours, email Byron a selfie, and specify whether you want it printed on your existing RFID card, to request a new RFID card, or just a plain plastic card (that will work for this, but not open the door.)
We will only issue cards to paid up members, so to speed things up, include the details of when you made your last payment (otherwise I have to wait till I can look it up or see if someone else can).
By attempting to access a Protospace Member discount, you agree to keep your dues paid, and that, on request, Protospace may verify to the merchant that you are a member (no personal information is shared with the merchant).
Makerwiz 16 Feb 2016
New discount to add - 5% off anything at the Makerwiz store - use coupon code M@K3R16SP@C3. Open to Protospace members only, please do not distribute/share.

http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/ 14 March 2016
Today we received a very generous email from Brandon Frise, the new manager of Metals Supermarket in SE Calgary. He is offering us a discount of 10% off on all items until June 30th, at which point they will re-evaluate our usage and could even potentially increase the discount amount. Members will simply need to show their membership ID cards and mention to the staff that they are with Calgary Protospace in order to take advantage of this deal (remember, Calgary Protospace usually ends up filed under C, not P!) He would also like us to know that they are currently working on incorporating online orders in the coming weeks. He's very open to inquiries for different materials and advice via phone, email and in person. Brandon was very complimentary about what we've accomplished at Protospace; if you do make a purchase from Metals Supermarket make sure to let them know that we appreciate their offer!
