I try not to buy from Thompson, not because of price but because their shipping is horrid.

We had some cigar smoking Soldiers from the last big unit here at my FOB, and out of the 4 orders they made none of the "first" shipments made it. One of the "second" shipments made it and the rest were cancelled for a refund.

The bad part was there was 2 of them that said screw it and ordered from elsewhere, and those shipments arrived before customer service sent the second order. Needless to say they have a bad name out here.
