I guess I am one of the lucky ones.  I order through Weaver every couple of months and have had nothing but good luck with them.  I dont make big orders either{$150.00-$250.00}.  I ordered from them last week and had some belt buckles back ordered that they shipped me this week for free.  I had a box full of dye and tools, and a double shoulder wrapped seperately shipped for $20.00.  Is that considered a high shipping fee?  I thought it was about the same as Tandy Leather.
