Way out here on the wset coast, tend to find that National packaging is less than desirable. They find the smallest box, then cram the wood in, and it then gets destroyed either in shipping or when packaging. You get about 90% of what you ordered as useable. Am not the only one, for have three friends not far away got same results. Odd, in that they argued one time. The woold was smashed on ends, and the resulting broken off pieces were not in still sealed box. What does that lead you to beleive.

Oh, but we will issue you a credit slip? If you order OVER $500 worth, and am still awaiting for it to come in mail.

Must have something to do with the distance away.

I tried Balsa Depot once, and they were slow, cheap, but were also limited as to types in stock.
