Default FYI: Amazon & Reid Supply

There is a particular little coated ball end mill from Reid Supply that
I have grown to like for certain applications. It works and it lasts a
very long time as long as I don't crash the machine. I went to buy 6 of
them from Reid. I am down to one due to a machine break down, and that
one is currently in use. It irked me when I went to check out that the
shipping charge for 6 of these tiny little mills was twice the price of
one. 30 of them including packaging wouldn't go over a pound. Just on
a whim I checked Ebay and Amazon to see if anybody was selling the same
end mill. Maybe somebody getting rid of extra stock or who knows what.

Reid Supply is an Amazon reseller. The shipping when ordered from
Amazon was $7. From Reid's website it is over $12. Seems counter
intuitive to me. They pay CC fees and Amazon fees and charge less. How
odd. Anyway. If they have anything you buy more than one or two of
check total plus shipping charges through Amazon before completing your
next order.
