The 4 Taper Locks (2X 3/8, and 2X 5/8) arrived yesterday
afternoon. Quality looks great, and I _think_ they will work well. Only
one thing I was cheesed at. I had specifically asked for USPS( United
States Postal Service) INSTEAD of a courier. $68 in parts, $40 for
brokerage fees etc. cause they UPSed them. It doesn't seem to matter how
many times I ask for _anything_ but UPS, but companies will often insist on
UPS and their hugely outrageous brokerage fees. US mail is great, then
FedEx, but last UPS (at least from my experience).

That being said, if I needed the parts overnight, I would pay the brokerage
fees. When I have time, I'd rather not...
