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.

Hey we don't use shipping as a profit center, if ever your shipping looks off please do call the office. There occasionally are tines where large items don't combine and it thinks that it's shipping in multiple boxes. My shipping department does look for these and will automatically refund overcharges.
Unfortunately, it can be the way something us set up.

I have noticed that USPS seems to have went up significantly. And if it goes over 1lb it will go priority .

Sometimes one item will bump up shipping costs. You can have several small items and add inner door fuzziness and we now have a larger, but still light package, bumping into priority mail.

We do try our best to offer the best value for shipping.

Sincerely
Mark
