Not sure what's up with Jegs but now they jacked free shipping to be over $249.99 now. Summit (& some smaller outfits) is still holdig that $99.99 offer. Is it that they don't have the sales to comp the lower free shipping?
I agree! While our dollar is worth less today, I see many individuals taking advantage of using this excuse and making a killing.I suspect it's a profit margin thing. No such thing as free, just a buried cost. I bet if you do a little more hard news investigation, you'll find that we've been paying more for a lot of things over the past year or so. Not sure why though. It's almost like our dollars are worth less or something. Interesting times.
Rock Auto got me a few weeks ago. They had Big block rod bearings on closeout. only 7 though. So I bought them and paid whatever the shipping was. A week later they found the 8th one and I had to buy that one separate and pay shipping again!!!!I agree!

One vender I was dealing with last week (no names) was going to charge me $15 for 4 pieces of carboard items weighing in at 4 oz, I said ooooookay, and if I wanted to double my order, it would be an additional $15!!?? I'm sorry, it DOES NOT cost $30 freaking dollars to ship a 8oz ENVELOPE, 4 hrs. away. Guess what, I didn't purchase anything! lol KEEP IT!
I've found with Rock Auto, if you go with the cheapest part available, they really nail you with shipping, so NOW I go middle of the road and its actually saving me money on my total order. Its for my daily driver so I'm not too picky on my brands for that.Rock Auto got me a few weeks ago. They had Big block rod bearings on closeout. only 7 though.
