Good story for you folks.
When I pulled the 406 out of my 81 recently I also wanted to give the TH400 a quick clean up. Picked up a new governor gasket from a local shop. Put it all together and for some reason theres a slight weep out of the bottom. Not the bolt hole. Its the bottom of the cover/gasket.
So Monday AM I do a search for TH400 governor gaskets on google. One place in FL and one a bit closer. The closer place had the gaskets for $1.79. Cheap. I called the place later that day. Told the guy I wanted 3 gaskets. Just in case I ever needed another one down the road. For that price I figured what the heck. The guy said they would go out that day. Never thought to ask him how much the shipping was since it was just 3 small gaskets. They could have fit in a business envelope but I figured they would go out in a padded envelope.
Today I got them with my order from Summit. I bought a bunch of crap from Summit and the shipping was a little over $11.00. I open the box with the gaskets. Theres an invoice attached to the top of the box. This guy charged me $18.69 for shipping. Needless to say I was pissed. I tried to call the place but nobody picked up the phone. Gonna call again tomorrow. A lesson learned. SMFH
