Add a piece to a cart, add zip code, and change quantities to see.
It’s obviosly a volume business discount of some sort but it’s kind of ridiculous. I had a small business reselling surplus military truck parts mid 2015-2017 and at one point my shipping discount was near 30% off. Had to do with volume and insurance values.
I’ve ordered from metalsdepot before.

The only thing we had to do was punch in in time for scheduled start time and go about our day. No participation, no ceremony. They can shove their breakfast in the trash.
I heard the company was supposed to have the RI congressional delegation as special guests. They cancelled because the company has a terrible relationship with the Local union.
All the while stewards leafleted Vote No material.

Twilight sort had nothing for Founders Day today. Some left over donuts from the preload I guess that the flys had been snacking and leaving eggs on all day. Some brave souls finished them off. Not even cold water. I guess I have a 40 year plaque somewhere from what some of the drivers told me. About a year late.

OJ and cupcakes here.
I think it has more to do with the stock going public than the strike.
e... WTF???

The egg or the chicken.
The two are intertwined starting around 1993.
UPS had been looking at going public all the way back in the 80s but in 1993, the numbers were beginning to indicate the need for additional cash to buy new companies and to some extent, diversify. UPS management at all levels was very hesitant to go public because they knew it would change the UPS culture in many ways ... most not conducive to continuing the paternal culture within UPS wherein UPS considered all employees equal to some extent and to take care of them all.
The strike of '97 removed that reluctance to not have a paternal attitude towards it's employees. So one of the first things the management committee did immediately after the strike was make the decision to go public and start that 2 year process.
