yes EB panels. Even "close"-r vendors part price vs shipping difference does not help much on the total bill.

Wait until you see that $100 in shipping includes dents, dings, and a mystery crease. Hopefully not a set of tire tread prints.

Make friends with a Discount Tire manager and they will let you use their ground shipping account with UPS at half price :) Had 4 tires shipped for $104 I won on ebay. UPS store wanted $280

I can do same, but vendors often have their process and carriers, etc

until you have the time and can drive there pick it up and drive back cheaper than it is to ship you are stuck unfortunetly. something we all contend with.

I used a hood that needed some work and I paid too much for it just because shipping would have more than doubles what I paid for the slightly damaged hood. :)

Its always something.

factor in time, fuel depreciation etc and you can get past $2/minute pretty quick on drive time
