What I don't understand is the shipping. My local
supplier who is 25 miles away wants to charge me
$17.50 UPS for anything they put in their regular size
box--be it one tee shirt or the max that will fit in
the box. Another supplier on the opposite of the
country charges me the same price UPS. But yet I
ordered 10 throws from the opposite side of the
country (they came in a box that would equal 2-3 of
the boxes my local supplier uses)and it cost $12
FedEx. Now does any of this make sense??
