[DeTomaso] ridiculous shipping prices!

Dennis,
 
Do you have a CNC part number or the diameter of the  piston?
 
CNC is in San Diego, does not sell on-line, but has a distributor  1/2 hour 
from my house. Get me the data on what you need and I'll get the part  and USPS 
"flat rate" it to you.
 
BTW, USPS Priority Mail has a Flat Rate service. Postage for a  large 
envelope, which should hold a rebuild kit, is $4.95 regardless of weight.  An 11x8x5 
box costs $10.35 as long as it doesn't weight more than 70 lbs!!!  Other size 
boxes are available. The envelopes and boxes are free and can be  ordered 
on-line. The address labels and postage can be printed and paid for  on-line.

Have fun,

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,

Dennis
