Modern life is too complicated

years back I bought most of my parts from Hardens here in Missouri. I noticed they would get a shipment of semi full qtr patches, they would always gets some dings/damage in shipping,... then they would have to ship to the buyer. more dings!????.... I just picked mine up as I was only 1 1/2 hrs away then.

put companies figure why keep so many parts in a warehouse. space, property tax on it like the other guy said, they have to pay someone to box and ship, let the supplier do it!! lots of stuff comes directly from the supplier.

Yaer One, their prices have always been high, UNLESS you buy what $1000 at a lick. Classic does the same. I always rather buy from the smaller vendor that gives fair prices and shipping costs.
