Try calling them and switching the shipping.
IMHO $12 doesn't seem too bad, but I live in AK, so YMMV. |

$12 is perfectly reasonable.

Quoted:
$12 is perfectly reasonable. Not IMO $12 to ship an upper, ok no problem. $12 to ship a 8" piece of aluminum that doesn't even weigh a pound? No thanks

When I get into that situation I just start adding more stuff to my cart until I feel the shipping is justified. Sometimes this means I wait days, weeks, or even a month or two, with that shopping cart before I pull the trigger.

Solution:
Drive to IL, buy, drive back... If this will be over $12, reconsider paying for shipment...

I ended up ordering it from Brownells using my C&R discount, the savings made up for the shipping.

It takes fuel and the labor of a bunch of different people just to get one item from one part of the country to the other. They aren't a charity, they deserve to be paid for their work just like you. |

I feel your pain. I was going to order a set of .45 grips from VZ. 65 bucks for the grips. That was bad enough. Then they want 16 bucks for shipping. They're fucking grips. What do they weigh? At the most 4 oz. You could put them in an envelope. I said fuck it. I could do without them.
This isn't the first time I've blown off ordering something because someone wants to scam me on shipping. |
