I have ordered from Northern a lot but don't ever remember seeing them have fee shipping. I know B3 has a free shipping program for certain items but not all. Austing Home Brew use to have free shipping but they just did away with it. I believe they have a flat rate for shipping most items.

I too have few good choices regarding LHBS. There are three in the area, one has a pretty basic supply. The onwer just annoys me(long story) but they seem to cater to only real novice brewers and can't handle more advanced conversations about brewing. Out of the other two, one just sucks. The best is this small one, like yours Steve, that is a beverage center with one wall of HB stuff. The guy who owns the store is a home brewer and is pretty cool to deal with and has a decent supply of the common HB supplies but you have to keep an eye on his prices for hardware as he can be over priced even with shipping from others. If I need something not out of the ordinary I shop for it there and feel good about it.
What I'm saying is buy locally(do that for everything else too meaing not Wal-Mart or Target) if you can for what you can but don't feel bad about getting something from the mail order shops. Hey, if you can find a friend to brew with, you could split the cost of shipping, that's what I did.
Good luck,
Rob
