So with each order, you are paying for 2 shipping payments. Also, how quickly will you turn them around? If you are hoping for 2 orders a month which would be 4 tapes a month, then you are going t pay for 4 shipments a month as well.<BR><BR>Some of them you will be pleased with, some of them you will not. Labels are not always exactly what they are. Some have better content than others.<BR><BR>So, if you can get them back twice a month, that would equate to 48 tapes a year. That would also mean paying 24 shipments. I do not know what their latest cost is, but it was around $5-6 to pay them for shipping. Plus the $6+ you will be paying to ship them back. That would equal around $22-25/month in shipping costs x 12 and you are at $250 - 300. Plus the $149 fee, has you 4400 - 450/year. Now, you will have 48 tapes, but they will not all be ones you would use. Also, there are just going to be some that you put on your list every time that you will never get.<BR><BR>Yes, videos cost quite a bit more than that if you were to order each one of them, one at a time. You just need to look at all aspects.<BR><BR>
