Default Shipping Cost!!

please move to proper forum...sorry



How much do you think shipping costs for a $25 window relay, couple of ounces, from Indiana to Florida?

$5 $10 $15 ????

If you guessed $15 you're right. That's

Don't know what some Vendors are thinking.

I bought my part elsewhere, I'm sure they're heartbroken about it.

I just ordered a tranny crossmember from Indiana the other day. Total shipping was only $17. Your part weighs maybe a couple of ounces, mine weighs 40lbs. I think some of the companies are taking hints off of Ebay and sticking an outrageous shipping and handling fee and making a profit to boot.

That is outrageous! The minimum shipment for UPS is around $11.00, and probably 1/3 that at the USPS.

I told the Vendor through their contact link how I felt but I seriously doubt they care. If it's shipping & handling then call it that but to rip me on shipping makes me take my business elsewhere. I priced the shipping through UPS zip to zip and it was $8.99 to a residential address for the relay.

From the same vendor, a few weeks back I bought two door alarm switches for $17, they charged me $10.75 shipping. Could have been sent US mail for $1.00.

UPDATE:
Well, the Vedor contacted me and after hearing what they had to say, both my shipments could have been more reasonably priced in shipping if I had just called them. These small parts were simply miscalculated.
