i didn't pay attention to shipping cost at time of purchase.  later noticed that they charged me $8.00 shipping(twice the value of the product)to mail me shoe laces from a city i can drive to in 30 minutes! (actual shipping cost was $1.50).  i phoned them to complain, at which time they refunded half.  it was good that they seen me half way, but i won't order again from this company again.
