Bottom line is people feel like they are getting ripped off when shipping costs more than the price of the item they are buying or when they pay a premium for an oversize package and when the item arrives they find their part (brake lines) have been folded to fit in a standard size box. I will never do business with anyone who has played the shipping game on me.

I agree with your reasoning but the fact is most all do that in one form or another and somehow shipping needs to be paid.
