My original posting about shipping charges was not intended to start a slew 
of complaints.  After all, UPS charges are what they are -- I don't think 
Lancair gets a special higher rate or anything, and I presume there's no 
profit taking by Lancair on the shipping (though they have a right to collect 
fees for boxing stuff up, and I expect they do -- no problem there).  In 
fact, UPS is usually pretty good.  Vern advises me when other options will be 
cheaper, and I once got something FedEx because they were cheaper than UPS 
for the 3-day service I needed at that time.  Thanks, Vern, for saving me a 
couple of bucks then.

But there's still a problem with Hazmat.

I received one reply from a gentleman in the shipping business who's father 
owns a Lancair IV-P and thus reads this list.  I forwarded his solicitation 
on to Lancair for their review.  I don't know what the outcome will be.

So once again, if anyone has suggestions for lowering hazmat shipping costs, 
please sing out.

For example, I have bought Hysol directly from EV Roberts in Culver City, CA, 
down there in the Los Angeles nightmare.  It costs more than when I buy it 
from Lancair (they get a quantity discount, it seems) but I just drove there 
and picked it up, so there was no shipping cost at all (sales tax, though).  
Jeffco is located in San Diego (Kearny Mesa, actually) but I haven't tried to 
buy direct from them.  Anyone else know of local sources for these products?
