Another fan of Filterbuy here ! After using filters from the big box stores, etc. we found this fantastic Alabama company near Talladega. We order direct from them, not Amazon, and their customer service and speed (get ours the 2nd day after we order) are over expectations. All USA made, super customer service, exceptional quality and the prices are the best we ever found. We found their MERV 11 to be of very high quality and the best choice for us. Still thank our friends from Alabama who told us about this company. As an aside to your comment on "Carrier brand a rip off", another example of how fear is used as a weapon, especially in The Villages, but everywhere also. Off topic, but found same "fear" mongering concerning an Epson ink tank printer we purchased. This was a great purchase as it prints FOREVER on one tank filling. But.... the "warnings" about not purchasing genuine Epson brand ink proved completely false. Found very high quality ink company on line, not from China, very high quality prints, and half the cost of Epson brand with no loss of quality. Just sayin', fear is a powerful motivator to drive sales in many (most ?) cases !
