    VERY DISAPPOINTED that I was too late to get the JET BRONZE MATTED before they were closed out. Sad face. Just goes to show that you need to get on the sight more often!! Always something GREAT being offered!! I love the offers at the end of my cart purchase. It usually has something that I missed or just want looking for - but, I need in my life LOL

    Did not appreciate the additional push for 'but more items to buy' before confirming a 400$ purchase.

    I don't like being pushed to buy other things - twice! - at checkout. Also if I am paying with PayPal I wish you set it up like other sites where my address etc autofills from PayPal instead of me having to enter it by hand, it just feels so inefficient. Shipping seems very high for a small bag of shanks, and for a first-time shopper on your site, asking me to pay over $75 to get free shipping is a lot. Looking forward to the actual product, however! If I like it, I will be back, but I didn't enjoy the shopping process, since you asked.
