I look at it this way!

If I can't buy it from my LHS, which I always try to do and have to order it online you do save the TAX...

Now some of you don't pay a high tax like I do in IL, but in IL, enough said...

I had a 50cc pitts shipped to me, cost for shipping was $74.00. The box was big and weighed 32 pounds, the entire box was in another box and had thin wood on all sides, very secure way to ship them IMHO..
My total was $444.00 and TAX would have cost me 38.85, so if you deduct that from the shipping cost, shipping cost me $35.15, not to bad...

Now I am ready to order some things from TB on Monday, my cart is $240.00 and shipping is $15.69. (spinner and smaller stuff) Tax on this order would cost me $21.00, so they are paying me $5.31.. Just another way to look at it and is one of the many ways we justify the cost of this hobby in our head and to our spouse........
