Rod holders from the moon...

[Abbeysdad]

Now bear in mind that I have a BPS about a 45-60 minute drive away...

Anyway, I've been wanting some (not for storing) rod holders for the boat and after some studying and pondering I realize I already have a couple of flush mount (6 spline) holder bases in the stern of the boat. They look like these I found in BPS http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st..._SearchResults

So I go ahead and order these rod holders (maybe not the best, but looks like a good deal) ... http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st..._SearchResults

So I place the order on Monday hoping I'd get them by the weekend... next day I get the shipping info and tracking number and realize it's being shipped outta Earth City, MO .... over 1000 miles away from me here in CNY (est 7 days in transit)!

Now wouldn't ya think that a big outfit like BPS would have some distribution here in the northeast???

On the other side of the coin, the cost of shipping was only $5 and it would cost me roughly 3 times that to drive to that nearest store.
