I wonder what the transport cost is by the time it gets to the LGS.
$15.00? I have NFI
Postage to your home is totally different kettle of fish.
I doubt it adds much as it's being delivered as part of larger orders. If a truck goes out to deliver 200kg of powders to several dealers I guess it might add a few dollars per kilo? I'll have to discuss it with a dealer. I doubt it would be $15 per kilo.
Like many things, if you only want a little bit, but you want it tomorrow, then your dealer is going to charge you for the cost of getting it for you. If you're happy to wait a week he can add it to his regularly weekly delivery and charge you nothing extra.
I don't recall what I needed (it was a paint product), but last year I wanted something from Repco that they didn't have locally. I could spend the afternoon driving to another town that did have it, or I could pay I think $20 and they'd have it for me in the morning, or I could wait until Monday and they'd have it in stock at no extra cost. They also suggested I try a paint shop next door and he not only had what I wanted, he gave me it for nothing out of their bulk drum. It was a thinner or something.
