I've been tooling up my wood lathe.
Bought chuck, live centres, CBN wheels and various other bits and bobs. None of it lightweight stuff. Over $100 and shipping has been free from Lee Valley (ON), Busy Bee (ON), Woodchuckers (ON), and Woodworkers Specialties (BC). I expect only Lee Valley comes close to KMS in terms of sales volumes.

Today I get a $25 off coupon from KBC if I spend over $75. And they'd like to know why I haven't bought anything recently. Hmmm well your shipping prices are ridiculous.

KMS or KBC?
I saw a couple of CBN wheels on FB this morning. Last time I bought from KBC I balked at the shipping and they dropped it to about $17. I'm waiting for my coupon to order a height gauge.
 
Whoops KBC I edited my post to reflect.
While we're on the subject. KMS only wanted $100 to ship the 350 lb lathe to my house from Vancouver.
Yup saw those wheels.. only 6"ers. I wanted 8"s
