With oil at $140 per barrel, shipping charges are rising rapidly.
  Scsistuff is commited to charging only what the freight companies charge.
   
  We have lately been subjected to an additional fuel cost tariff for shipping of 25-43% dependent on distance shipped.  Shipping to the coast is most affected.
  Our boxes uses cradles constructed from plastic ( hence oil).  Cradle prices have jumped 100% in three years.
