Carey,
And the problem with ordering them from a business and having them shipped to you is that you have to pay HazMat charges on them.  What is that now, $23 or so?  John
John,
         The last couple times I ordered caps, I got them from
Dixie GW.They came ground mail, with no haz-mat fee. If it requires a haz-mat fee they will mention it in the add.There is none mentioned for any of their caps.Don't know why,but I am not about to ask them :shake

You know, it has been almost 6 years since I was in the business of selling caps, so things might have changed in that time.  However, I find that businesses (like UPS, FedEx, etc.) that have a known money maker, like HazMat fees are like the government and taxes.  Once they have a taste of revinue, they don't stop taking it if they have a choice.
I would not have thought that caps were an item that could be legally mailed, either.
Very interesting.  Hope it never comes back to bite them (DGW) in the a$$.
