Ha!  I'm glad I got my order in for 100 of those rivets last Friday. :)

I almost always order from Wicks anymore.  I like their online catalog
better, and FedEx Ground shipments from them are really fast.  They
won't ship the epoxy FedEx Ground though.  The catalog says the
hardener has to be shipped ground, so I specified FedEx Ground.  They
called me (probably Janet) to explain that they could only use UPS
ground because of hazardous shipping licensing issues.  They are very
nice to work with.
