If your Mfgr. says: That motor's 7 years old.Part is no longer available. We lose $$ on service! EPA made me do it! Parts at central warehouse, you'll get them next month. We don't make parts for those. We only do warranty work. Our techs only fix late models. No clue what's wrong! So we'll work time & material. Baloney!! Contact

ABOUT SHIPPING PLEASE NOTE: IN ORDER TO KEEP SHIPPING COSTS DOWN WE NORMALLY SHIP VIA US POSTAL SERVICE, USUALLY 1ST CLASS OR PRIORITY MAIL, DEPENDING ON WHAT'S BEING SHIPPED. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS DELIVERABLE BY THE POST OFFICE, 1. TIME AND MATERIALS TO PACK THE ITEMS. 2. COST IN TIME AND FUEL TO GET THE PACKAGES TO THE POST OFFICE OR UPS DROP OFF. I DON'T HAVE A DAILY UPS PICKUP, AND THE US MAIL WILL NOT STOP BY THE SHOP TO GET LARGER PACKAGES, EVEN THO I HAVE AN EASY IN AND OUT DRIVEWAY AND TRIED LEAVING PICKUP NOTICES IN MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WAS IN HAWAII MY MAIL LADY WOULD STOP EVERY DAY TO SEE IF I HAD ANYTHING. THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW - - 3. IN A PERFECT (AMAZON, BUY.COM, ETC.) WORLD WHERE "SKU'S" ARE BAR CODED, EVERYTHING IS ENTERED IN A DATABASE WITH THE SHIPPING WEIGHT AND THEY HAVE A DEAL WITH UPS TO SHIP STUFF AT FRACTIONS OF THE RATES CHARGED THE AVERAGE SMALL BUSINESS - THE FREIGHT CHARGES (AT "RETAIL") CAN BE ADDED IN A SHOPPING CART AND YOU CAN SEE THEM UP FRONT. THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME AS 80% OF MY PARTS ARE DROP-SHIPPED AND I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WEIGHT AS SHIPPED. A 4 CYLINDER FORCE HEAD GASKET PROPERLY BOXED WILL WEIGH A LOT MORE THAN SAY 3 OR 4 SMALLER ITEMS OF EQUAL WEIGHT BUT LESS SIZE AND FRAGILITY. THE EASIEST WAY FOR ME TO MAXIMIZE MY USEFUL TIME IS TO TRY TO PICK A NUMBER THAT IS MOSTLY FAIR FOR THE AVERAGE ORDER AND USE IT AS A FLAT RATE. IN MANY CASES THE ACTUAL SHIPPING IS GREATER THAN THE $8.75 - IN FACT WE RECENTLY HAD TO INCREASE IT 2 BUCKS A POP AS I WAS IN THE LOSS SIDE OF THE CURVE. HOPE THIS HELPS IN UNDERSTANDING THE REASONS FOR THIS SHIPPING AMOUNT. JUST AS A MATTER OF INTEREST - I RECENTLY SENT A 3 POUND TRIM MOTOR TO CANADA BY US MAIL. CUSTOMER ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR UPS SECOND DAY SERVICE. THE RATE FOR "GLOBAL EXPRESS" 3 - 5 DAY SERVICE VIA US POST OFFICE WAS $18 AND CHANGE. UPS'S BEST "EXPEDITED" 7-DAY SERVICE WAS QUOTED AT OVER $77.00! BOTH ARE TRACKABLE - HE OPTED FOR THE US MAIL, OF COURSE! AND - DID YOU EVER SEE A UPS LABEL THAT STATED THE SHIPPING COST?? |
