You know I'm not sure but I don't think they usually charge for the shipping and you're probably right as far as saving on shipping.

Again, I have a very very good relationship with my indy mech. So, he tells me everything - what he can get them for, what he recommends and why. Then he lets me see if I can get a better price, especially dealer parts, because they don't get a big discount contrary to what people would think. At least I know where, when and what I can save money on.

Basically, he lets me choose everything. I realize this is not the norm but its really not that difficult if you just make nice and try to be friends! Not only do you get a new friend but you save a bunch of mulah too!
