Take that drywall example I just did if you payed $8's even a sheet I would save $1.75x128=$224 which is a nice saving but when you factor in an 8 hour 'there and back' drive + duty because I would be over my $50 daily limit (or whatever it is these days) for me I would buy the drywall here and focus on other things I could save on.

Again not a critic of you, It just shocked me to read initially because I picture what it would entail if I did that.

It was only because I brought drywall last week for $8/sheet and I saw your post and thought you were being robbed lol.

Back to UPS!

I'm sure FL will be along to put us straight at some point.
