Has anyone ever heard of this store? I just found out about it because they distribute soma at decent prices. They look like a nation wide web distributor, but they are based out of St. Louis and about 20 minutes/10 miles from my house at most. It appears that keep a retail store there. so I should be able to get some respectable prices for miscellaneous stuffs without worrying about shipping.

Just seeing if anyone has anyhting bad to say or reasons I should avoid them.

I use them all the time as they have low prices and carry some brands most other stores don't. Free shipping over $111 and no tax...at least for me.

I've ordered from them a couple times. Good prices but rather limited selection, mostly closeouts/odds and ends. They're located not far from me. I visited their "store" - the front office of their warehouse - in Earth City awhile back, was going try saving shipping on some shifters I'd seen online. Long story short, they couldn't find the things in their warehouse. I ended up ordering them anyway, even with shipping the price was good.
