every time i have tried to work with Stillen they do some shady pricing. they give you a "discount" then they make it up in their shipping. they try to be all "well the shipping is the same cost if you get a bumper and other gear so its not expensive." im sorry it doesnt cost $20 to ship a pulley that is less than 1 pound.

maybe but i felt pretty good about this an from what I paid I really "think" I got a decent deal.. but I'm happy with it and they have always had good customer service with me at least

and they charged $8 for shipping

anythings better then NST's customer service I'd rather pay more for stillen's then wait 4 months with no contact for pretty much the same damn thing. both lightweight just different color

customer service says a lot about a company
that's why I'll never buy another Flossy shift knob from chad, never buy another robinson armament rifle, and now NST is added to that list.

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.

My wife used to work for a company that shipped a lot of stuff, and they had accounts with all the major shipping companies. They shipped enough stuff that they got 70%-80% discount on all shipping. I know that a company as large as Stillen gets at least that good of a discount, so shipping a small box with a 1lb pulley cost them maybe 20¢ lol.

On a side note, that's how a lot of those infornercials selling free samples of stuff make their money. You get a 60 day supply of pills just pay 12$ S&H, when it costs them less than a dollar for the product and another dollar for the shipping. $10 profit for nothing, then they charge your card repeatedly unless you cancel.

I just got the shipping notification today for my belt. Superdave, it looks like they're completing the group buy in sections, I'm sure you'll be taken care of soon.

Of course the pulleys didn't make it here in time for Zdayz, and now that I have mg pulleys I can't install them because the Z is in the shop after some chick rear ended the crap out of me.
