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.

Shipping has increased in price but most of the time, it’s still better than driving x-country for a part. It’s pretty easy to use an online shipping calculator and some companies give a pretty strong discount when you sign up for a free account. I rely on FedEx but I have peers who prefer UPS.
I just paid $2,200 to ship an engine from Germany. I felt that in my wallet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
