They aren't the only ones. As I have been piecing together various parts to complete my mods; I have been shocked by the amount of shipping these places want to tack on for the smallest items. For instance, I wanted to replace both of the end-link nuts on the front suspension. I decided to go OEM and order them from a Nissan shop. Just about everywhere wanted to charge me $1.20ish for the nuts (fair), and between $10 and $20 for shipping (insane)! I have run into several other cases. What I think will be a reasonable, simple purchase, ends up being a scavenger hunt for the vendor who won't charge double or triple the item price to ship.

Apologies for getting off topic.
