Have you noticed that most of the woodworking supply companies have quietly changed over to shipping charges being based on how much you pay for rather than how much it weighs. This used to be a hallmark of bottom feeders such as JC Whitney and Harbor Freight.
I first really noticed it when I ordered a couple of small gifts for my grandson from Lee Valley. Shipping was $11.50. The order weighed 14 oz including packaging.
I live out in the hinterland and everything comes by FedEx or UPS. Even the nearest Lowe's is 40 miles away. This really hurts.
