Ok... Sometimes you just gotta wonder. Yeah I'm sure I'll get some
judgmental superiority replies, but I thought some folks might need a
reminder about how the world sometimes doesn't make sense.

Last night I went on-line and ordered some lead screws from Roton to
repair
a little CNC machine I have been playing with. I checked my credit card
balance to make sure there was enough available credit to make the
purchase... and there was with a plenty of spare. I was annoyed that
Roton
does not have a freight calculator in their website, but I didn't think
any
more of it. I just figured if they raped me on "handling" I just wouldn't
buy anything else from them.


"Plenty to spare" means you are living near your limit. "Barely used" is
the place to be.


Actually no. I have one card I only use for on-line purchases with a low
limit. I pay it off every month. Sometimes two or three times a month if I
need the available balance up for something. I only use this card for misc
on-line purchase because even if it gets abused or stolen they won't get
much even if the CC co doesn't honor their protection promises. But I did
predicted a response like this in my original post.

Please no applause. This was really not all that hard to prognosticate.
