For example, this person hasn't even factored the $25 handling charge and whatever crazy shipping company "Pak Shipping" is:

Definitely blew it.
As usual, my employer blocks it %) what is it?
I contacted the shipper pakmail and got a cost estimate on shipping the 2 corbeau front seats, back bench seat and approximately 100lbs of other stuff and the quote came back at$748.00 from Pakmail.
i picked up some small items hoping not to get killed on shipping
Yep, and I was outbid on every single item I went for. One of them being valve covers which have been bid OVER the Wildhorse retail price and the transfer case (rebuilt) which is pushing up near 500 when graveyard has them for 625. Of course, when they don't work properly graveyard would stand behind them.
I think a lot of people are about to realize they've been very ripped off. There's some good bulk deals in there and I hope our bronco retailers have had a chance to add some inventory on the cheap, but for most of us this is a terrible deal.
The $748 was the cost estimate for putting it all on 1 pallet and shipping to commercial address with a loading dock and forklift. I opted to not bid on anything after receiving this quote.
What kind of valve covers are you looking for? I have a set of stock ones in my garage in Ventnor that are just collecting dust. Let me know if you are interested, you can come check them out next time we go down there. (We just left yesterday, wish I knew you were looking sooner)
They must use the new gold plated pallets then.
How much would you expect to pay for shipping from other vendors? Only asking as we've seen a bunch of OMG SHIPPING CHARGES RAGE AND RABBLE AND LOUD NOISES in the recent past.
