Best ordering practices

I am getting ready to order track and turnouts for new layout. I have researched a few on-line stores. Hard to find one store that has all of the order. Best prices, MIDWEST MODEL RAILROAD, N SCALE SUPPLY and KLEIN. Peco Code 55 #4 turnouts with Peco C-55 flex and maybe ME C-40 for sidings. If they can work together. So wife suggests Amazon that has free shipping but 18 for turnouts, Midwest is 14. They also only sell odd flex track units - One is like 12.00 which is weird. Must have something to do with bundles through Amazon from these stores that supply them. Also is the shipping to Alaska. Any ideas on the best route for me to take here. Need like 6 to's, a 5 piece bundle of 55, a five piece bundle of 40 and other needs. (MIDWEST) doesn't have the ME, but everything else, N SCALE has all, but I've heard the lost in the mail stories from that place.  Only model railroaders get my over zealousness and weirdness.

If you can get it all at once from NSS and get it for a decent price, go that route. I’ve never had a problem with any of my orders from them. If you can save money with MBK or Midwest, do that. I’ve also had great experiences with both of those shops.
