99 SWPS from Corvette Nuts
Email from VetteNutts confirmed there was an error in shipping charge caused by their website. Shipping is only $15-$20
And for the record, I wasn't complaining about the price of the part, I understand it's availability. I was only questioning the shipping cost and the vender has corrected it. Thanks for all the input.

Shipping insurance for that item isn't free.
Neither is tape.
Neither is the box.
Neither is the time to package, print label, and get it ready for shipping.
There is not a profit per say in that part. They are of limited supply, and as such demand sets the price.
He has to do a lot of digging to get one, and time is spent to make sure they are functional at time of sale.

Are you referring to VETTENUTS???????
If so,,,,,,, call and ask to speak with Marc and discuss any concerns/complaints with HIM! Yes that part is RARE and can be expensive..
Please let us know how you make out.

You need it they've got it ! YOU PAY . Why call MARK he could sell it for less ! it's all about the $$$. It's just a matter of time before the used absolute part's are so costly that the car's are just parted out. Then these guy's will have all the used part's but no one will need them .

So the 99 C5 I just bought needs the SWPS replaced. Only place I can find a used one is Corvette Nuts... they now want $489.00 For a used one which I understand to be the only option. Once I decided to bite the bullet and pay up for one I went to order online and they also want $44 to ship it by ground shipping? How does a part that small cost $44 to ship anywhere by ground in the US? Is the profit from this part not enough and they need to boost shipping costs? Sorry for the rant but this is so discouraging to get the feeling you are being taken advantage of by a Corvette parts supporter??
If anyone has a better source please let me know.

I notified Vettenuts of this sad show and Shawn sent me this reply.
This whole thing could have been avoided. You owe Vettenuts a public apology to counter the public bashing you gave them without regard.
I just got an email from the guy and explained to him that our website has been glitching lately on shipping for some reason and that are working with our techs to try and figure it out. I told him that I would correct his order (if he placed one) and that I would only charge him $10 to ship it.

Seriously
Go find something to do already.... I didn't bash anyone. I simply stated that the shipping charge was way overpriced. And I did contact them and they corrected it.... so I changed my comments. But, I guess your post with the crying baby was useful though right?
For everyone else that offered useful advice and took the time to message me with other ideas/offers, Thank You.

Good luck getting your junk rolling.

One day you might need to cross that bridge to feed those non-existent new parts your car needs.
