Shipping Costs- Way Up!

I just got a box of blanks from Clark in Laguna Niguel. Normal cost for 4 blanks with Clark’s 40% discount is about $70.00 for a 10 foot box. This last order the shipping came in at $100. I asked the driver what’s up and he told me that the fuel tax surcharge has caused this rise. Is everyone out there seeing this same sort of increase? Tom

Basically, small fish are getting eaten up quickly. Could shaping just be a stubborn inate characteristic of a person who says," I can make that for half the cost"? Just wonder, with shipping costs, shaping machines, no respect for the backyard shaper…I wonder if it is worth. I still think so because I get satisfactio still. Tom does that satifaction ever lessen with blank costs, glassing materials cost and the division that takes place after receiving payment–$40 dived by four hours equals 1o bucks!!! Those little cute chicks make 10 bucks for one table dance!!!
