That is a common practice from a lot of companies. The mark up goes tovarious shipping costs, packaging, labor and such. UPS and FEDEX are alsohorrible about charging back companies for minor corrections in zip codesand such. UPS also has two different rates. One for delivery to a businessand another for residential rate which is higher.Dick Navratil----- Original Message -----

DickG. >>Genius...I know you probably don't want to get involved in this crap but if you feel inclined to let the powers- that- be know about such comments....have at it !! I see this stuff quite regularly.Just got back from Brodhead...had a ball. Didn't get a ride on the 'A' Plane...weather set in...but lots of fun anyway. Got lots of good ( like free) advice on how to deal with the bugs I'm having with the engine. Incidentally, do you know if ACS handles the clear plastic self-sticking tape for prop leading edges? I see it listed in the California Sysytems catalogue but would rather order it from Spruce.The drive North was treacherous...an accident just ahead of us that snuffed out five people. Later a car ahead of us caught a deer doing 70 mph. They were OK..(you know what happened to the deer) and we got all the glass and guts.. Gotta go for now..we're in for an electrical storm momentarily and I gotta shut it down. Talkatcha later, Ace One ________________________________________________________________________________
