Re: Factory (Cast Iron) Exhaust Manifolds

I understand. That shipping seems really high though. I have to go to the post office tomorrow and I will check there just for the heck of it.

Re: Factory (Cast Iron) Exhaust Manifolds

Shipping rates have killed the used parts sales, I just received a rate increase notification from ups for like 4.3%

Fuel cost are Fuel cost but Labor cost are on the rise. Higher cost are the direct results in people using Email instead of Snail Mail so USPS has to get the get'en (to your wallet) any way they can

The quote I got online was really close. I think she said $76 to CA. Splitting it into two packages only increased the cost.

Maybe somebody on this coast is needing some nice factory manifolds.
