[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 233962, member: 8012"]I HAVE spent a lot of time recently combing the internet/E-Bay and Yahoo for sellers/dealers that have reasonable shipping fees. They DO exist. Over this weekend, I ordered 500 2x2's, 40 air-tites and a 40 gram silica gel thingy. Even if you include shipping, it was still cheaper than the local dealer by about $5 and I only have to go as far as the mailbox to get the stuff. In addition, I've worked with several sellers (usually individuals, not "dealers") who have very reasonable shipping rates (You work with them and you really only do pay the cost of postage). I dunno, it's about a 18 mile round-triip for me to my dealer and I have a 30 mpg car. I'll still be going there, but I won't be going there on a lark just to kill time or see what new has come in..... I can call him for that.[/QUOTE]
