Invest in Amazon Prime. I've had it for three years and always save more on shipping than my initial investment. On top of that, they have so much free music on Prime I doubt I'll ever buy an mp3 again. And for odd, obtuse things? Amazon has it.

Amazon Prime is pretty useless to someone outside the USA, though.
And I'd rather buy locally (www.fishpond.com.au) than internationally as I said above. I only go to Amazon if I can't find it on Fishpond.

I'm also rather wary of Amazon since I heard about their horrible working conditions.

I didn't stop to think about Australia.
But I do prefer online shopping as well.

And I thought, wait, I just spent money. I guess I could do that, too! Maybe not the best idea.

(laughs)

a wooden spice shelf that comes unassembled so I can shorten it by shortening the wide pieces before assembling, maybe.

Good luck with that. I'm not sure I'd be able to get it to go back together if I tried cutting it down, but then I don't have any carpentry skills....

Sometimes it is cheaper to go through a company's shop site than their Amazon site.

As with anything shop around and compare prices before you commit to buy.

Good point. And there's likely to be a bigger range at their own site, too.
