Hi Wayne,
I'd be fooling myself if I thought I was more important to abcfab
than any other Customer, but if you email me (off-board) your ebay
userid, I'll inquire the next time I send him email.
Was he going to use USPS Priority to ship? I always ask about the
flat rate boxes, especially for small heavy items. I got 50 pounds
of transformers (from someone else) shipped for $7.70... The flat
rate boxes are $8.40 now but he didn't pad it when I bought. In any
case, you should negotiate shipping up front to avoid surprises.
Maybe the material you bought wouldn't fit in one of the flat rate
boxes...
His prices might be a little better if you buy off eBay. Check the
eBay prices first to see what things have sold for to get an idea of
what you should pay. I've been getting material from him for around
2-3 cents/sq inch, maybe less.
Regards,
Dennis
