Just got the new website up and running.  Still under construction but most of the pictures are up.

Check it out at www.midwestbaitandtackle .com and let me know what you think...

I think your shipping costs are way too high, but otherwise baits look good.

Site looks really nice! I'd drop the extra 0 in front of the prices...just kidda looks weird.

The shipping costs looked good to me...I assume it is the standard "if it fit's it ships" box...therefore it is...what it is.

Get pics of everything asap. Hard to buy something you don't know what it looks like.

I have to order some of those Gorilla Tubes!

Good lookin' baits....

Good luck!

Looking good!!!!! That is a NICE site!!!!

I will agree with others, for 1 bag of baits, I would pay $12.84 in shipping. You would be shocked at how many 1 bag orders I actually get!!!! Maybe add USPS priority as an option for shipping as well. That is all I use and they make it easy to me.

Anyway. Nice site and GOOD LUCK!!!!!

The USPS Priority flat rate padded envelope is your friend.

You can stuff alot in there for about five bucks.

Off topic...congratulations, Jim, on reaching 1,000 posts.  I was wondering how long it was going to take.  Not only are you prolific, but the information you freely share with us is valuable and much appreciated.

i got the shipping  fixed its just a 5.20 box  :o  lol

If you package your swims in a plastic container, consider only 5-6 may fit in the flat rate envelope. Your next step is the medium flat rate box at $11 something...

You would lose $6 out of the gate.....

There are regional flat rate boxes also. They have a lower weight limit and cost a little less if they are close, but cost more than regular flat rate if they are a few states away.

I think we now have most of the bugs worked out.  The shipping is now lower ($1.50 for the first item and $6.00 for anything over one item), and the paypal checkout is now working.
