The billing is very confusing in that the total price you see online is different from what you see on the sheet you get with your order. this latter sheet explains the reason for the difference and I'm not implying there's any deception or overcharging. It's just confusing. Although they have risen recently, the prices are consistently competitive, if not less expensive, than other vendors. Orders are processed quickly and the threshold for free shipping is relatively low. Even at the slowest level of free shipping, the orders usually arrive relatively quickly, sometimes quicker than expected.
