You may not think free shipping matters. I just put a $14 lightweight part in the cart of one of our suppliers, and standard shipping (3-10 business days) is $21.83 for it. Ridiculous!
Free shipping may not be a "By Grabthar's Hammer, What A Savings" feeling, but it helps. |

| I for one this holiday season am thankful for the free shipping. The Hidden hitch is a odd-shaped chunk of metal. It would have been expensive with shipping. |

It’s ridiculous to think that the cost of moving an item from A to B is related to its retail price, Somehow.
I have a project where I have to purchase 1 nanogram of lead.
It costs me $10 to get it shipped.
That’s a shipping cost of $1 Trillion per gram; which cloud should be yelling at?

C’mon. You know how this works. They aggregate shipping costs and apply them so the can cover them. Not brain surgery. If you bought a half a nano gram would you expect the shipping cost to be 50% less?

I've had terrible luck with GW brakes and so has my local shop in SD, so much that they won't use them anymore.
As for more hating on GW they've been out of the reverse tire carrier for what seems to be a year... unfortunately I cannot weld and to have someone make me one would probably cost x3.. so i wait. |

I'd wager that if you bought a full gram... it'd be $10 shipping..
now that's a heck of a deal right there.
but yeah if you ordered a billion nanogram packets... expect to open the wallet... those envelopes aren't free ya know.
now in regards to a nanogram of lead, is that just a whiff from natural decay? cause I think you'd get 200Xs that from just touching lead with a tissue.
I have a 10# ingot here, should I go into the 'market' seems there's some $$ to be made

Only available to the Lower 48 though. Pity 
Think shipping in-country is expensive? |

Starts now and runs through Monday November 29th at midnight.
Code = FreeShip at checkout.

I placed an order - on "Small Business Saturday" rather than "Black Friday."
I really appreciated the free shipping bonus- thank you!
But upon checkout I couldn't find where to properly put the "FreeShip" code- the box for discount code wouldn't accept the words "FreeShip." Probably my ineptitude, but where do you put the code?
