: Did I do something wrong or is the $9.99 scraper set really ~$18 after $3 for
: shipping and $5 for handling???

: How could a website order for 1 item cost $5 to 'handle'?

I also ordered the scraper and plug cutters and the shipping and handling are about as high as I have run into, but I don't mind paying to get hard to find tools. I would expect a little faster service since the order was placed on the 6th and I haven't received them yet. I'm starting to think that building a strip boat is cheap, the real expence is buying tools that you probably don't need. I went to a movie yesterday and got there early so I went to Menards to look around and kill time. I came out with sandpaper, wood putty, duck tape, a sure-form curved tool and a bench grinder.
