914 Rubber Shipping Costs, $25 to ship a $40 order! Options

[914sgofast2]

I just went on the 914Rubber website to take advantage of their March sale for a few items. The rubber seals I wanted came to a grand total of $40. When I went to check out, they wanted to charge me $25 for shipping, with no cheaper options. Want goes here? I have been very happy with 914Rubber in the past, but this $25 shipping cost for a few small rubber seals was outrageous, at least in my opinion.

so, I've just spent 24 weeks putting my 914 together. I've spent a lot at Rubber, AA, and other vendors.

While, I'm very grateful that there are vendors supporting the 914. I was disappointed with Rubber's shipping cost. Having spent 40 years with a small parcel company, it seems that they are using S&H as a profit center.

I too have had to take a double take for shipping that was like $100 for a few items. Luckly I caught it before I checked out.

Another issue I had, since I was ordering stuff all the time, was that when I caught myself needing something after I thought I had everything ordered I would call...more often email (they don't, like a lot of companies like to answer the phone) to add an item and asked them to add it to the package.

Even though I caught it before they shipped it, and they put it in one package, they still charged me shipping for two packages.

I asked them why I got charged two shipping charges for one package? They said they don't make refunds under a certain amount.

It's all good, again I appreciate being able to get stuff for the rebuild. I've been a customer for over 10 years, but hey, since someone brought it up I had to give my $0.02 worth.

Shipping from Rubber has cost nearly $400 in 2022.
