Well today around 2:30 I broke down and called ICC for some new code books. I realized that some of my books had become out dated and starting to miss some pages.:butt

When I place the call I was on hold for a while, finally, a nice lady came on to take my order. After a few moments and repeating my ID#'s her response was I can't get on the system.

I will have to take your order on paper and call you back with a purchase #. It is now just about 5:00 and have received a conformation # and that my order has been placed.

Well I guess in ten days I will find out.

What a way to run a code group! :D
 
You called? I actually was pleasantly pleased last week. Ordered a book from them, on-line, had it in my office in about 5 days. Have had good luck with the last couple orders, even a return. Course, that's a money-maker for them............

I order my code books through Amazon.Then again, I ain't an ICC member.
Ben you can still order through ICC. You just have to pay the non-member price.

You might also try BNI code books. I don't think they're much cheaper (if at all) but its another source.
 
I doubt you can buy them any cheaper anywhere other than ICC, since they are the supplier. Might get a better deal on shipping, ICC is a bit pricey, I think it was $11 for a smaller book.

Doubt away, Amazon is substantially cheaper unless you are an ICC member (and don't factor in membership cost).
 
Didn't correct me, my situation is still exactly the same. I was merely stating that it was a good thing that you are happy with your deal. ;)
 
Ebay even cheaper bough the 2009 IBC, IRC, IMC, IPC, IEBC, IFC and Green construction, ICC 600-2008, the PMC, and Storm shelters for $150.00 on a buy it now last year! all new still wrapped, all had a sticker on the front "display copy" all were complete.

Score!

I downloaded from the free website, no cash to buy a full set of code books this year. Times are tough.......We're lean and mean..........
