Pelican Parts is great about having parts. Today I used them for the second time...I bought a speed bleeder for $11.25. The shipping for these little bleeder valves was $9.80! Is this normal!? If it is I guess I will only be able to use them for bulk orders. It really sucks.

Only limited experience so far but, for large packages at least, FedEx ground beats UPS by a lot. Paid $28 to send a 356 bumper and deco, 20 lbs, 70"x17"x7" from Portland to Phoenix. UPS was $60. Both included an oversize surcharge. I usually use UPS ground without a second thought. From now on I will check FedEx first. Postal service also often beats UPS, especially for small items. Those targa top clips would fit in a USPS Priority Mail envelope and be there in two days for $3.85.
