I almost posted this same thread last week with after my small order. Their shipping prices (and prices in general) and times are kinda high. They get the money, certainly for things that I can't buy elsewhere but its kinda hard to justify spending more for the item and then spending more again to ship it. Yes its their choice to set prices as they will, and again my choice to order or not. But USPS Priority has always 100% worked well for me, shipping and receiving. The flat rate boxes and envelopes make it amazingly cheap and easy to get coast to coast in 2 days.
The days of ordering something out of a catalog and seeing 4-6 weeks delivery times are over. This is an instant society. And yes, I know that I am different from most everyone else on this list.
