Freestyle in L.A. has it, but only in 120. $44.pp for a 5 pk.

To me, there are more important things in life than getting the lowest price. I want courteous costumer service, on time shipping, and an outstanding reputation. Generally, that means I only buy from Freestyle because they ck all the boxes. If I can't find something, Sammy's Camera, also in L.A., has proven to be just as good but has a more limited selection.

Or, try Walmart. Walmart? I've occasionally found stuff there that is not available someplace else. They have things on their website that are shipped by 3rd parties, and my membership gives me free shipping and easy returns.

Amazon, eBay, Paypal, Facebook and a lot of other huge corporations came from the Bay Area. I know there's smart people out there, I used to live there, but those companies and others like them are also totally unprincipled. Truly, monumentally unethical corporations. They start out being all sugary, then go into lawyer-like, post menopausal mode after they have a sufficient user base established. Pfffft.

Sitting on a truck for a day should have no effect. I've left film in the trunk of my car all summer and didn't notice any problems. I wouldn't ship ice cream that way, however. :cry:

Then what’s the worry… or is this part of the thread just a sign of boredom?

I would agree for the most part, but it depends on what you’re buying. Paper towels or a pacemaker?

YMMV, but I lump Walmart in with the other evil players you mentioned in your last paragraph. Maybe a touch better, but I don’t think by much. Just ask their vendors.
