    I don't like being pushed to buy other things - twice! - at checkout. Also if I am paying with PayPal I wish you set it up like other sites where my address etc autofills from PayPal instead of me having to enter it by hand, it just feels so inefficient. Shipping seems very high for a small bag of shanks, and for a first-time shopper on your site, asking me to pay over $75 to get free shipping is a lot. Looking forward to the actual product, however! If I like it, I will be back, but I didn't enjoy the shopping process, since you asked.
