That is good advise and is what I do. If you need the stock, getting both at the same time is your solution.

But if these suppliers were thinking in the customers behalf, and building good faith, they could use "Priority Mail", (if it fits, it ships) packages, for about $6 for small items.

But I think they know that if shipping is $18 we will spend more to justify the cost and get the sales numbers up?

Just my theory.....just sayin :-))..... thanks.....Jim
