$120 in shipping for what he ordered?
Guys allow me let you all in on a big secret... Most shipping charges are the biggest rip-off of the past 10 years.
I was able to learn about this and see it all in action both the current company I work for and the previous one. Unless someone has an incredibly small company, their discount is most likely really high possibly shipping things.
We can ship a 70 lbs box for like 30 bucks on ground. And we don't even have the highest tier discount. And besides my experience, the most obvious example is Amazon. how on Earth do you think they can offer a free one or two day shipping on all kinds of crap? $150 a year is not going to cover it, unless, it was hyper inexpensive.
Things like boxes and wrap also almost free in the grand scheme of things. Usually less than $0.50 per box.
The last thing that you have is labor, and yeah you got to cover your cost there but still...
Generally my preferred option is headstrong off-road, they don't even charge shipping most of the time, at least as far as I'm aware historically. Why? because shipping is extremely cheap.
Don't get me wrong though, wheelers has excellent customer service. But honestly the shipping prices are what keep me away 90% of the time.
