Yep, life is good, but this is still a little aggravating. Boxing and shipping costs are a cost of business and should be factored into the price.

If they factored the expense into the price of the part you wouldn't purchase from those people cuz they would only be three dollars cheaper than the dude with free shipping. And we feel better about the guy with free shipping because hey it's free shipping.

I think the government ought to step in and force everyone to offer free shipping. Then with the internet sales tax and free shipping everyone will be on a level playing field. The government can fix this shipping delima. They jus need to create a new agency to deal with it.

I don't know why I don't just give the government my whole pay check and let them take care of everything for me. I am sure they will provide me with a level of goods in line with the amount of work I perform. Wait I am thinking of something else. The government takes my money and uses it to buy lazy people lobster and t-bones.

There is already shipping cost included in everything that we buy. If it came on a truck it will have shipping costs even before you order it and cause more shipping costs. Ain't no way around it even if you don't see it on your bill as "shipping costs".

I am all for the idea of "the business of America is business" but there is such a thing as being a pain to people. If someone buys a knife off me or some extra mountain house I dont use I might make a $1 or less in handling if that. Now in ebay I usually up my shipping from $2 or more because of their fees.

For an established website to do that just does not sit well. If the thing was like $5.80 I could see $6 or $6.50 max. Unless they insured it.
