@thetsl my personal opinion is that the new shipping charge is a mistake. $20 isn't going to kill anyone, but that was a nice perk when ordering from you.
Look, there isn't one thing you can do that will make
@Just Fish back off from you. With all due respect to JF, he's not going to be your customer. He doesn't want to be your customer. The noisiest individuals in here don't want to be your customer. So, why allow them to dictate your actions? Most of us will not turn on a member just because he wants to troll you. There are claims that it's done in the name of "harm reduction", but that's just a ruse. It's like these anti-gun people saying "think about the children".
The real reason for the complaints by people that will never order from you is just to get under your skin. Again, the claim is "looking out for the community", but most of us are adults here and can make our own decisions without captain-save-a-hoe "looking out for us".
AL is a good resource and the testing is helpful to some. It keeps labs on their toes and gives member an idea on who can be trusted. The donation is helpful, but charging $20 for $5 shipping seems like you're just trying to give people the finger.
