It's the same principle as buying something you need brand new and paying for next day shipping when you order an item you need. 

If you can run a tight customer ship and be competitively priced, you're way ahead of most of your competition, IMO.

There lowes coupons come out every month and are costing  2.25, they are never out and ship to my house fairly quickly.

It doesn't take long for the whole crew to get in line and the ship to start sailing smooth seas.

Another good option is to order Amazon Prime and save on clearance items and shipping.

I went ahead and reached out to the BP support-- they helped me upgrade my order and now i'm being shipped the paperback copy(s)Thanks for the great content and support, J! 

I bought it online and they shipped it for free.

I think it's safe to say with complete bi-partisanship that a very high percentage of our lawmakers are pathetic idiots who should be shipped back to whatever state they came from: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/us/politics/15health.html?

If you're cool with the rustic look, it may give it sort of a ship-lap feel.  

Instead they have moved to gas rewards which is pretty useless to us as there are too many restrictions on using it and the gas price isn't that competitive.We can get a decent discount and free shipping when the orders are big enough by going through the pro desk but for small orders it makes more sense just to go to Lowe's as they give you the discount automatically.
