from them, because their selection is very good, but i don't delude myself
that the total cost of an order will be competitive.

I found out my local lumber yard orders from them. I have been able to
get them to order for me and I still pay the catalog price but w/o shipping.

My favorite shipping to date was with Sears. Needed a gasket for the
compressor, $2.89 + $15 shipping.
