ARGGH, I special order some NGK ILFR6B (6481) spark plugs for my brother in-law's STI, and got charge $8.89 for shipping & handling!! for 4 spark plugs!! Sure I'm payng $7.73 for one, $4.89 for shipping okay..but $4 for handling 4 spark plugs? 4 SPARKPLUGS!!! Man If i know that I would of order a whole case of sparkplugs!!
um...they have to make some money, somehow my company, anything they sell, minimum shipping is 9.99, even if it's a 3 dollar item.
yeah those STi plugs are pricey. however i think you are still getting a pretty good deal. IIRC its ~$12 a plug at the dealership. ok well maybe you are only saving like $3.
W:ugh:W Bubba, welcome to the club....why don't you tell us how you really feel. I'm sure your brother in-law feels his car is worth the 8.99 for s&h
LOL, thanks guys.. Of all the plugs that we sell at my company to dealers and stores, We just happen to not have these guys in stock. LOL, we carry Denso, Motorcraft, Delco, NGK, but we didn't have this particular part in stock. oh wells..my brother in law's paying for it anyways. At least I got him a good deal on the GM Turbo part that he wanted. Nuke, I'm Tony's Brother-inlaw, the guy that drives the White TC.
Remember, the box, the tape, the packing peanuts, and the shipping costs all are factored in. 8.99 doesn't sound too far off, for the price of a box to put them in, packing material, tape, labeling, and shipping. How was it shipped?
it was shipped ground, took them a freaking week to get it here, either that or the guys in shipping & receiving are a bunch of lazy bums. Hell they could of shipped it along with our weekly freight orders. Could be also that my company don't pay for freight on our orders, thats one of our required condition before doing business with any supplier , and they decided to get a little back from it. LOL Bastards...LOL
when you dont carry something it sucks, when i went to napa to get some NGK7Es they didnt stock them so i had to order a box of 10 plugs. so i am covered for 2.5 plug changes... lol
^ yeah, like I said, if I knew it was gonna cost that much, I would of ordered a whole case of plugs 98count and have a blow out on them on the forum.
Oh, James right? It's all good, but I've ordered stuff with high shipping & handling for ground also...sucks but if you need it, you gotta pay for it.
Nuke, yeah thats me.. Let me know if you need something bro. I get stuff for 10% over cost + tax. Add shipping if I have to special order it though..
Nuke I cant do shipping on the skyline, but I do get discounts @ Dealerships that we supply.:biggrin:
$40 i think is very good compare to me...and mine wasn't even an sti...i paid $94 for mine...i know it was $24 and something for one spark plug....i got hustled...
NGK Vpowers ~ $8 In stock at NAPA of Shakopee. For the cost of iridiums, I can buy four sets of Vpowers.
lol,r@pe is blocked on our forum? thats a random word to be blocked out. See, I can understand ****, ****, etc. but not ****, especially when cock and ass are still available. edit:: that last sentence is ftmfw now that I re-read it.
Well the thing is that, If Napa don't have it, they'll usually buy them from my company and sell it to you. We sell to to most of the shops in the Midwest through the West Cost. My company is a major parts distributor we just don't have little shops like Napa or O'Riley
