Hi Rainman,

Yes, I alrady know that most "free shipping" places put that cost into their product price... however, this one place I shopped at, I noticed its price for a receiver, went to other sites and saw the SAME price about everwhere else and those places had shipping & handling charge...

Bought my receiver from this first place w/o shipping charges.. got the unit, works fine...

So, like I said... I dont know how they absorbed (somewhat) that shipping cost (maybe via volume of sales? heh)... so... it's still possible to get a good deal from a "no shipping cost place" if you know where to look...

So, I'm gonna keep this in mind when I need to order something heavy and big like a 80cm dish (making sure other places charge about the same cost for the dish) and order from this place with FREE shipping .... this could save me $40-$50 in shipping cost. heh... heck, even if they charged for the dish $20 higher than most places, I still save $40-$20 = $20... heh.
