SS is only "needed" when you are running something acidic like wine. But if you have the extra $ to spend it's a good way to go.

I've found the line between "needs" vs "wants" gets more and more blurry the deeper into this hobby I go.

Wow! I thought what a great deal on a faucet shank combo for 29.99 then I clicked on the estimate shipping tab ( Ohio btw.) And 11.25 for shipping really???? I would go out on a limb and say your making some money on the shipping.

Hey browndog. thanks for considering us. I wouldn't go too far out on that limb.

We don't make a dime on shipping. Our store is API integrated right into FedEx. You are charged exactly what we are charged.

I tested shipping rates by dropping a couple shank combos into the cart. Cleveland $8+. Toledo $8.95. Columbus $8.48.

But Celina is coming up $11.25. For whatever reason, FedEx charges more for some locations, typically more rural areas.

All good. Sorry the shipping's a little more to you. Still a good deal, even if it's $2-3 more to ship to you, especially if you are buying more than one faucet/shank combo.

By the way...I've been through Celina. A couple of girls I went to college with grew up there. Nice little town. Sits on that bog lake, right?

Yeah it sits right beside Grand Lake St. Marys which is in terrible shape right now. We haven't been able to go on it for the last 2 summers because of a blue algae. Fiinally got some government funding to get it cleaned up.

Hey gang, we still have some great pricing on a variety of faucet/shank combos. You can get them here:
