Yup. Unless you order more than $500 at a time. Then the shipping is
based where you are located and the dollar value of your order.

Everyone I know who's dealt with Jeff at LBC has always said good
things. I personally place most of my orders through Dick at
thebpc.com. He doesn't have an online ordering system set up like Jeff
does, but he works quickly and does a good job of resolving any
problems.

I've also ordered a few things from Proper MG. The kits they offer for
some common jobs are very handy. Being able to order, say, a rear brake
kit with all the needed bits is a bit simpler than having to make sure
you've ordered each item. If you've done the rear brakes a hundred
times before, this probably doesn't matter much, but if it's your first
time tearing into that item, it's nice.
I haven't received any mailings from them in some time either.

When I get around to replacing the carpet in my car, I'll probably
contact TRF. My '79 has the combination of black and tan carpeting. To
my knowledge, TRF is the only vendor providing a carpet kit for this.
Everyone else simply sells single color kits.
