I just ordered the front and rear sways bars that are on sale and the shipping came to $45. I realize that these are big heavier items, but if they had not been so deeply discounted I probably would not have ordered from you. I think when you've got places like American Muscle that sell at a competitive price and has Free Shipping it makes it a little tough to take the higher costs. It doesn't always have to say "Shelby" on it for me to be satisfied. My .02.

Funny, I was just going to thank Robert for working on the Shipping program. I just ordered sway bars and the adjustable control arms where the shipping came out to $42 to Denver. When I calculated the shipping for the same size box and weight from my companies account with UPS ground, the shipping would have been a bit over $48.

Purely for example - the leather tonneau cover costs about $11 to ship to Great Falls Montana, yet costs over $34 to ship to Medicine Hat, Alberta. This is for one, relatively light, item.....once a few items are in the cart I've seen over $100 in difference between two places that are less than three hours apart from each other.
All the usual Turn2 CS6 goodies plus, shaftmasters aluminum driveshaft, JBA ceramic coated headers, antenna delete, CDC sequential tailights, Agent 47 door mirrors, autographed airbag cover, Kenwood DDX6019 double DIN DVD head unit with Nav & Sirius, Infinity Reference 6832cf's Front & Rear, Shelby Kicker Subs and a few dress up pieces. 370hp, 377ft/lb torque

Spending money I don't have on parts I don't need to impress people I don't know :)

I just ordered the sway bars only and the cost to go US post was almost the cost of the parts I believe it was around $150.00 for the freight .
I had originally cancelled on a morning order but the cost even with the ridiculous freight charge was still cheaper than I could get elsewhere so I bought them regardless however, I have cancelled several orders in the past due to the freight.
BTW...I also ordered two baby bibs @ $9.99 ea. and it was $20.00 freight to ship those.

I had a previous mention on this as well.....I had ordered a signed Hertz hood which was a great price and they called me and advised it was $400.00 to ship it.
Other members complained that the freight was $160.00 to Michigan which is just a few hours from Brampton.
I don't know why we can't arrange our own shipping as I do it with several other automotine vendors in the USA.....I simply give them my UPS or FED-X / Purolator account number and have the goods shipped freight collect.

Personally, I think we should be given the option of choosing our preferred method of shipment be it FedEx, UPS or USPS.

Really? Do tell what shipping company can you cite that will ship a hat in a box or tyvek type plastic bag for $2 or $3.00?
Have you ever shipped... well ANYTHING?
You want "Free Shipping" go for it, great marketing practice to take advantage of "those types of people".
Your really just paying for it in the base price. But if that works for you,, keep going to those "Free" or Ultra below real costs shipping retailers.. Your happy, and so are the marketing company that fooled you into thinking you got something for free, or for less then the actual cost.
