Re: Freight Charges, Jegs.com

Across the board on anything I order online I check and compare the shipping and "handling" costs from more than one source to make sure that my total cost is favorable along with delivery time.

1 thing I always do is plug a parts number into The Ebay search and plug that same parts number into an Amazon search. Amazon Prime has free priority shipping that paid my annual Prime fee on the first order. Add in Rock Auto and O'Reilly's website to check prices and keep things honest.

70 to ship a big box of stuff across the country doesn't seem so bad after I just paid 24.75 to send Fer 12 bolts 12 star washers an 1 tap by priority mail this morning.




10 dollars worth of stuff that weighed 10 ounces.
