Digital BW, The Print

Yeah. I know the feeling deep in your gut where you KNOW they are
ripping you off---You've been taken advantage of.
 In my experience, Archival Methods ships to me within 24 hours. I
usually try to get my order up over $150 to get the FREE shipping.
(Not hard for me to do)
 And, their stock of the items I commonly use is WAY better than LI!
I'd so often call LI and be told, "Oh, we are out of that color. We
expect it within 3 weeks." etc. Shipping charges were truly outrageous
at LI.
 (grumble)
  Best Regards
  Ginny
