I just went on the 914Rubber website to take advantage of their March sale for a few items. The rubber seals I wanted came to a grand total of $40. When I went to check out, they wanted to charge me $25 for shipping, with no cheaper options. Want goes here? I have been very happy with 914Rubber in the past, but this $25 shipping cost for a few small rubber seals was outrageous, at least in my opinion.

It's not their hobby it's yours. You all think it's easy to manufacture speciality parts in small quantities need to wise up. If you can't afford your hobby parts save up a little longer and don't pick on Mark for sticking his neck out year after year for your fun.

Hey, not picking on Mark (except maybe for the wiring harness "contest:) As I said, I/we do appreciate having suppliers. Again, I've been a Rubber customer for over 10 years.

I have noticed shipping cost irregularities to. I didn't want to mention them but someone else did and I chimed in to agree.

Maybe it's a system thing or something. I would think Rubber would want to be aware if there's a problem.

it's not their hobby it's their business.

So I've spent about $4,000 at Rubber over the last 24 weeks or so. 10% was shipping. I've had similar question about shipping too. It doesn't mean I can't afford to spend it, or another $4k at AA...etc., etc., the list is long.

Again, I'm not picking on Mark. He should want to know about this.

and BTW, I paid cash for my 2 Corvette Z06's, Silverado LTZ, Caddy XT5, and don't have to save up at all for my 914.
