    It's been a while since I ordered from PSI, but the kits I was looking for were quick and easy to find, and it appears you've made it much easier to readily identify what accessories (bushings, etc.) are required to assemble each kit. I will be back!

    I would prefer that you had free shipping at a certain dollar amount. The limit should be no higher than $100.00. The only reason that I spent so much today is because i received a discount coupon code.

    My husband needed a part for his lathe so he could use it again for his new project. I received a message that it had arrived and I was surprised. I asked my husband and sure enough, he grabbed it right out of the mailbox and started using it. It is the perfect part for his lathe, the price was excellent and it was in stock. We are happy.
