Camelback wants $22 to ship this $38 order. I would think it would cost maybe $5 to stick it in a box and send via USPS?

Are there any other places to buy it with free shipping or less than $22?

Think about this, even if your tax rate were 20% , and I know it's not, buying the part from a local dealer would be ~$45 and you'll have it usually the next day.

I've found that under about $200 and it's cheaper to go through a dealer, even if the parts pricing is higher. And some local dealers will match internet pricing, just ask.

This has been my experience also. I go to the local dealer for everything.

I agree with that but the closest dealer is 30 min away and it is a 1 hour round trip plus I work all the time and cannot get there during their hours of operation.

I used to buy most of my parts on amazon but it's just my luck that this part isn't offered on there.

I will keep looking for a better deal. So far I found a dealer to ship it for $10.

It's just funny cuz I don't think any of the toyota parts I have ordered to date cost that much in shipping.

Wow. I've had this issue on my 3rd Gen for... 15 years? I just pump the brakes a few times when it's super cold out and the problem goes away. Now I know what the problem is. Thanks!

I don't know about their shipping cost, but McGeorge Toyota has been cheaper than Camelback every time I order parts online. Genuine Toyota Parts for 2000 Toyota 4Runner|Limited 3.4L V6 - Gas | Toyota Parts
