[Shop-talk] 'T-nuts' source

[Steven Trovato]

Looks like shipping is around $7, whether you buy one or a few.  You 
really think that is way too much?  I know, it pains me as well to 
pay more for shipping than the part.  But unless you can pick it up 
at the local hardware store or home center, I don't know what other 
possible source there is that won't cost you a bit for shipping.  I 
bet if you find it online with free shipping, they will charge more 
than $1.10 for the part!  Brian's thought about the Toyota dealer was 
interesting,  but I bet the price they charge at the parts counter 
will be crazy.  I'm all for being frugal, but how much time and 
effort is this really worth?
