I joined in the begin and broke down my order to two orders to save more when the order was over $300. I also got free shipping. They offer memebership coupons area and I got a free hole reamer too. You get a whole year of membership and if you and some buddies order together more than three times you should be ahead of the memebership. They also said if if you dont save after a year on your memebership. I think I read somewhere they will refund you something. So I think it's worth joining. Besides where I live I pay no tax when ordering from them.
