Pulled up the AS&S website and ordered about $300 worth of stuff,
including the tube that I would have bought from Dillsburg. "Shipping &
Handling" was $22.95.

So your the guy using up all of my AS+S luck G

In 20+ years I have never had a complete shipment. And in the old days the
freight on the backorders that dribbled in really added up. At least now they
pay the freight for some of the back ordered items but that still costs us all
because it's just added to the CODB column. My last order was 18% freight, (5
packages where 3 would have done just fine, no hazmats) and they still tried to
ding me freight on the backordered item - that I verified on the phone was in
stock - even with the note attached to not send anything if they didn't have
that one item.

Maybe someday they will figure out that the less money I have to give to UPS
and FedX the more I'll have to give to them to buy airplane parts? Their poor
shipping is costing THEM money.

Going to go back to Wicks........again. May try AS+S again in a year or 2.
