Posted for "John Barrett" <2thman@olympus.net> to eliminate dual formatting
and Vcard:

I have been buying small parts (and large ones) from Lancair, Aircraft
Spruce and others since I started building three and a half years ago and I
have been very happy with Vern at Lancair.  Many of the parts are favorably
priced and he gets 'em out right away with reasonable S/H charges.

I was surprised when I bought a com antenna the other day from Lancair.  I
ordered through Vern but it went to the avionics subsidiary.  The catalog
shows the item at $103 but the actual charge, which I didn't learn until
I'd receieved the part, was $120 - over 15% increase from the catalog price.  

The dollar difference is not particularly significant and will be totally
lost in the grand scheme, but the percentage increase and the fact that no
one let me know is something I'll be careful about in the future.

The message is: buyer beware.  Always be sure you know what they are going
to ding you for before you tell them to ship.

Regards,

John Barrett
