shipping bigger parts ??

Yes, shipping is what it is. My only point was that some people are better at figuring out the best way of shipping things than others are. It does happen occasionally that someone pays more than they have to just because they don't do enough research. And obviously distance has a lot to do with the cost also. Sometimes I've been surprised how little it costs to ship some big or heavy things if it's only a couple states away. But in the end, assuming someone has figured the best way, it is what it is. That's why I always charge actual shipping cost only, as a separate figure from the item cost (unless it's a very very small item). I have turned down 2 deals because the calculated shipping was insanely high, when I had just shipped the exact same size package the same distance for half the price (safely packed). I don't think this happens too often, for me, only the two times in the 100's of things I've bought and had shipped, but it occasionally happens.
