Damn, I don't mind waiting a reasonable amount of time for shipping, but I avoid East Coast companies because of the distance/time/expense.

However, I wanted some Forbo flooring samples, NJ. Makita parts, NC. Offroad parts, AL. Those are just the last 3 purchases. It seems to happen 9 out of 10 times. I guess people really don't like to run Internet businesses from CA. I suppose the cost of doing so and the cost of living has everything to do with it.

Having Pelican nearby is great. Only thing better could be if they were in NV (no sales tax to me, currently, from NV if the company doesn't have a branch in CA).
