Yes unfortunately shipping cost have gotten a bit steep and that affects our buying and trading everywhere. But some places do seem to charge a bit too much . We have a local place near by and I wonder if there not taking people on the shipping? I went there one day and they wanted 15.oo to ship a kit,there was two guys working there at the time and I just left. The next day there were two ladies working...I asked them how much on the same kit and same address their reply was 7.40 so I had them send it. It my just be me but it didn't settle with me too good . I feel for everyone that ships things today....Our local post office raised their shipping during the Christmas month and lowered it a little afterwards. I guess they thought it was due to the loads of things being shipped at the time? I feel the pain as all on us do when it comes to shipping rates......And I would like to thank Junkman for helping me out and shipping me what I needed, I owe him a big favor.
