I imagine some folks are scared away by the S&H costs, but logically that makes no sense, at least on larger purchases, because buying from sites like FAA isn't exactly cheap. People who buy art, etc. on line should already know this. On the other hand, I bought my wife a birthday present through FAA and the S&H actually did almost make me go over what my Pay Pal budget was at the time. Then again, most of what we sell here can't easily be bought anywhere else. Not sure if the S&H costs *should* affect us that much. But, of course, someone will come behind me and tell me how wrong I am.
