I hate paying shipping charges when ordering online, so I tend to look at them and take them into account when making a purchase. Especially when ordering only a couple of small items, it seems like the shipping at most places is more than what the items cost.

One place I deal with that has great customer service and FREE shipping is Little River Outfitters. While they don't have all of their materials listed in an online catalog, just call the shop and they will pull what you want off the shelves. Shipping is free and is usually the same day. Plus, I think everyone there ties, so if you are looking for something specific, let them know, and they will help you out.

Just my 2 cents worth.
