Many other small suppliers in that area of southern WI have high prices on many items. When I lived in WI (about 45 mi south of Milwaukee) I ordered all my supplies from Peak. Still do for most supplies. The cost plus shipping was still less than what the suppliers in WI were charging for most products. I live in southern Indiana now, but my parents are still in WI, so I still check prices of supplies there, for when I go up to visit, but haven't found any great deals yet. I would possibly buy wax if the price matched, or was better, than what I get here in Indiana. I wish you the best of luck if you decide to do it! Leandra
