I decided to buy a Carter bandsaw blade. I prefer to buy from the direct seller rather than Amazon, if the prices are reasonably close.
If I bought the blade from Amazon the cost, with shipping, would be $36 ($8 of it would be shipping).
If I bought the blade from Carter the cost would be 37% higher or $50, about $20 of that is shipping.
I realize Amazon has a great advantage when it comes to shipping but Carter charging $20 to ship seems excessive.
Note that I also was looking at a blade from Highland Woodworking and the shipping cost, for basically the same blade, was $8.
I'm no shipping expert but I would think if Highland can ship for $8 Carter should too.
I'm going with Amazon.
