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. |

The mass retailers like Summit and Jegs get a volume discount on their shipping, as they do from their OEM purchasing volume, but the shipping is still not free, so they have to charge a handling fee per order. Small guys like my shop have to charge a little more for product, but really get nailed by shipping, especially air. I stock this kind of stuff for my normal race car prep business and am happy to make some retail revenue from it, but costwize I better serve the west coast where UPS gnd is only a day or 2 away.
CJ, your best cost will be from a local TX retailer that is within 1 or 2 days of you via ground shipment. This post has been edited by Blainefab: Sep 4 2006, 08:48 PM |
