I sympathise with you on that, I see a lot of deals on parts that I would like but are too far away to pursue.  It is not the distance but the shipping cost that kills it for Alaskans, we import far more than we export so our incoming freight bill has to cover the carriers return trip as well.  The price we pay for living in Paradise.:>)
