This allows Rivendell to keep their costs lower too. Most parts are cheaper at Rivendell then elsewhere if you were to competitve shop or go to the LBS. You can't have low margins on what you sell and take a hit on shipping. Unless you're doing a bazillion dollars of revenue like some big retailers. I'm always happy to pay for shipping at Rivendell, even though I'm local - I work the majority of hours they are open and even so it costs me over $6 to take BART there and back from Oakland. Costs less to drive but if traffic is shitty it's not worth it.
I do really appreciate the packaging, it's pretty efficient. It's crazy when I order something small from Amazon and it shows up in a giant box filled with bubble wrap.
