like the phillips screw head that annoys me looking in the tube.
Natchez makes up for their low prices with the shipping. That used to be a hustle on ebay until ebay cracked down on it.
I ordered something from Natchez once. It turned out defective, and I had to send it back to them. I sent it back to them with the same method they sent it to me. It cost half the price.
Plus i'm sure they get some kind of special rate for all the shipping they do. Most businesses do.
