So, everybody sees the Jegs sponsor link above? 'Free 1-2 day nationwide delivery'

Yeah, so, I'm looking for some ARP Wheel studs for 2 day delivery (need them for this weekend) and I click, click, click to the check out, enter all my info, and there is this $11 HANDLING charge.

Yeah, I guess *technically* it's free shipping, but, what? do they think that we are all stupid?

They lost a sale from me because of it.

I'll try Strano next.

I suspect it may be the same kind of deal you see with the Ebay wheel sellers. They price the wheels dirt cheap to get the sale, and then charge an absurd amount for shipping to make it up. I've seen as high as $189. Basically, shipping has become a/the profit center.
