So, I ordered some SS mesh from mcmaster-car. The price was like $20 and change. For some reason they don't tell you how much shipping will be. So I loaded $30 on my visa money card thinking that should cover it. Got a call from them today saying my card declined. Cause they tried charging like $50. I asked why they were charging that much and they said it was $30 for shipping. I told then that I didn't want it if shipping was gonna be that much, but they had already shipped it. So now I got to load another $20 on my card.

One, who ships before receiving payment? Two, is that normal shipping price for them? Three, I nknew I should of got my mesh from themeshcompany; but didn't want to wait for shipping. Now it cost me $30

The high shipping cost has to be because you are in Alaska.

Shipping charges from McMaster-Carr are normally <$5.00.

That's what I was thinking. Wonder if the mesh co. charges more to ship to Alaska?

Well now, hang on. I didn't donate for assembly because I'm fine with putting things together, and being a visual sort of person it would help me get a good grasp on what everything is and does and goes. I'd rather do it from complete disassembly so I know what few bits come pre-assembled and I shouldn't monkey with myself.

That statement was meant for the people who requested assembly. If a person requested assembly, then a donation would have been in order. Not meant for those that will put them together themselves.

I agree McMaster Carr is a little weird in how they 'bill' you instead of just a straight forward cart like we see elsewhere. I'm assuming this is because they cater towards accounts with companies more than individuals stopping by for some washers and mesh.

Ok just tallied up the donations from yesterday, I am now in the black by $12.50. I am humbled by everyone’s generosity, since I said I was not looking for money, just giving updates on what was going on. This is an awesome community full of good people and I feel very privileged to be part of this co-op.
Thank you to all that donated!

For all you've done for us already and all you've still to do, I think it's the least everybody could do to make sure you weren't out anything more than your own time and sweat. Plus, that $12.50 there should be enough for a few beers -- a necessary ingredient in the success of this co-op, should rules about profit poke their head in.

Bubble wrap would have been my second choice. Though probably not for the same reason...

Dan, Unfortunately I just remembered that postage is supposed to go up at the first of the year! If you need any help to offset the new cost of shipping just holler! Just want to make sure that you stay stocked with beer for the holidays!
