Hi everyone,
Exactly two hours after placing an order on Amazon.com for a new camera, setting me back a pretty penny, I unexpectedly received a nice Amazon.com gift card. It's too late to apply it to the camera, so I figured I would stock up on some engines. Motors (LPR) are the only rocketry related thing I need right now, as I've used up most of my routine stock of common motors like B6-4, C11-3, and the like. I'm really talking just Estes black powder stuff.
So, I went to Amazon and looked around a bit... but it seems like most places apply charges for shipping PER ITEM so if I order a pack of B6-4 and a pack of C6-5, the shipping in total would be about as much as the engines themselves. What a ripoff.
Are there any vendors with good motor selection there that will combine shipping on multiple items ordered in the same session? I found "ehobbies" but they make a big statement that multiple "media" items get charged shipping per item. Not sure what they mean by "media."
Thoughts?
Marc
