This sucks. So today I was going to finally order the windows I needed for a building I’ve been building for a while now and I ran into a couple snags. 1.)

The only competitive advantage they had was that shipping on big orders was significantly less than sales tax would have been at a local retailer. Guess I'll only (...)
