I have STOPPED buying from J&L because the shipping is more than
the tooling I buy from them.  I ALWAYS prepay.  Never got any
"free shipping" from J&L.

I was charged shipping once, something like 7 dollars and change, so I
complained about it and got a refund. I don't know what you're doing

apparently that is the key.  They charge you until you complain.
Anyway, the point is moot.  MSC gets me anything I ask about 
overnight!
