[Scan-DC] Radio Shack Sale.

[Blake Bowers]

While 30 for shipping IS way out of line, and I 
can't stand the people at USASCAN, comparing
their inflated shipping to free delivery anywhere is
not a valid comparison.

Don't think for a second that shipping is free, nor
that you are not paying for it.  It is just tacked on
to the cost of the merchandise.
