Thanks for the heads up. Be forewarned that their website is rather opaque when computing discounts (my order should have been $80 off, but in fact was only $63 off), it doesn't give you any clue as to why the granted amount is less, but it's still better than you'll find on Amazon or the like.
Perhaps the website has an issue with math because it told me my shipping was $15, but it only added $11.
