    I guess this is more of a rant than anything because I have only myself to blame for continuing to deal with these people. I ordered a set of Largemouth Bass fins and one 1oz bottle of paint that was shipped in a very small, lightweight box (see photo). The items were $23.00. The friggin shipping was 22.91!
    A couple weeks back I ordered a 22" largemouth repro, driftwood, eyes, and three 1oz bottles of paint. Shipping was only $32.00 and the box was a LOT larger obviously! I've emailed them but doubt I will hear a word back. I've enjoyed dealing with them over the past several years but it seems its always disappointment of one kind or another anymore. They have got to be losing business pulling this crap!
    End of rant...

    It was UPS. Normally for a package this small I would have requested USPS but apparently (according to McKenzie) lacquer paints can't be shipped USPS.

    They're always having great sales on Super Fish Gloss.
