I ordered off of them in the past and they shipped via USPS by request; I was in no hurry.

UPS sucks all around.

Yup, always request USPS. I made a mistake of not specifying that before and got surprised with a nice $45 Customs surcharge.

I ordered from them in December, requested shipping by US Postal Service, shipping was $32.33 on a $100 order, I would order from them again.

I'm going to e-mail them today and ask about using USPS instead of UPS. See what they say. If they do, I will probably just put in a huge order or regular stuff too.

I'm definitely going to have to revisit ordering from them if they will ship USPS, as getting some of the wyes and manifolds I was looking for in another post were going to be over 100 bucks from a local spa company, only 40 plus shipping from Flex.

Now my evil mad scientist plumbing genius side is taking over, oh the possibilities

Get them to ship via USPS and ask them to make sure the commercial invoice states that the products are made in the USA. You should not get duties (or associated brokerage) charges.
