[DeTomaso] ridiculous shipping prices!

[Ken Green]

I am not absolutely sure, but I think that flat rate priority mail goes anywhere in the US.  It would be good to double check, but a starter would be $10 to ship if the flat rate applies.  You can go onto the USPS web site, and plug in addresses to be sure.

I needed a clutch master cylinder rebuild kit for a C&C type clutch master
cylinder. This is the response that I got from one of the vendors:

Hello Dennis
We do carry CNC rebuild kits for the CNC Aluminun clutch master cylinder. The
cost is $31.00. I did an estimate on shipping. We use UPS and I had 3 choices.
The least expensive would be approximately $29. They call it 2-day, but I
imagine that means two days to get to your city.

And they wonder why we don't buy from them and try to find the replacement
parts on our own! These ridiculous shipping prices are what makes me go every
other possible avenue to replace things before going to a vendor. When I first
started buying Pantera parts I was ripped off on shipping several times before I
learned. $49 shipping for a set of urethane bushings from one vendor and $82
shipping for a $99 alternator from another. Come on guys, a clutch rebuild kit
cannot cost more than $5 to ship USPS!

Can anyone out there buy me a rebuild kit and send to to me via reasonable
USPS?

Aloha from Hawaii,
