thanks. I agree with your ranting, particularly those tv ads that offer the 'not sold in stores" products which can be very handy to have but when you call to order, the shipping & processing & handling is double the cost of the product, so I no longer bother trying to order them.

the "shipping and processing" has become a very profitable if not abusive way of doing business, considering these bulk shippers have high discounts with UPS and US Postal Service. (I don't bother with Fedex, they think they are the Federal government).

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one ranting about this.
