  Over the past few years I have purchased a fair amount of exotic lumber from Gilmore but my my last order, placed over the weekend, I will NOT purchase from the anymore. I ordered a piece of ebony, which weighed 8 pounds. I received my invoice today, Gilmore charged over $30.00 to ship the piece of wood. When I sent an inquiry, I was told they charge $10.00 for “handling”...which includes shrink wrap, banding ( for a single piece of wood?), and wrapping. The cost is ridiculous. They do have a good selection of quality wood, but the shipping is a rip off. I got a kick from the invoice stating “they appreciate my business.” If they appreciated it, they would be more reasonable with their shipping. They need to realize there are other sources out there
