Default Willcox Question

So I'm shopping for a lower shock mount and see Willcox has it for $32.00 with the Forum discount, but shipping is $13.22 for a total of $45.22. I check Ebay and see Willcox sells it for $34.50 but shipping is $8.95 for a total of $43.45. What's up with that? Cheaper on Ebay than for a Forum member discount? Say it isn't so.

doesn't hurt to call them tomorrow and let them know of this gouging of forum members you've come across. See if Norm will give it to you for the lower price. They are usually pretty good about stuff like this.

Just buy it off ebay for the lower price. When I was looking for a tach board WIllcox had it on ebay with free shipping so I went that route instead of through their website.

I've bought from Willcox a few times now and loved each purchase but question them about some things

Great website, great guy, great prices.


Confusing discounts and terrible shipping prices...
I know most orders would fit in a USPS flat rate box....why not use that for a cheap shipping option?
