b2sc is infamous around these parts
I'd prefer retailers charge what they actually want for their items rather than artifically inflate shipping prices to increase their profit margins.

I have a personal FedEx account and a small box w/tracking is no where close to $20. I'd imagine large commercial accounts receive even greater discounts than I do.

You cheap bastid!! How many places have you tried for these *****? During Xmas season, some are offering free shipping on many items. It's okay to be frugal, but it's easier to live with if you do some searching around. You might also remember the smokin' deal (with free shipping) you got from Suncoast on those mats you bought a week or so back. Wouldn't those savings more than make up for the $11.52 shipping for the ***** you want?

Well I hoping to be Even Steven like in that Seinfeld episode were Jerry can't get rid of 20.00 no matter what he does a 20 just keeps showing up for him.

Maybe I can stiff a waiter -1.00 on my tip 12 times or something? Then buy them.

I'm with you on that. In this instance, your local dealer is your friend.
