Obviously some guys have more time on their hands than one would consider healthy. Complaining about a nine dollar overcharge on shipping and getting ripped anytime you have to visit a dealer--and some indies as well. Start the revolution when you have to shell out four figures for an inspection II.
Have a new key made for a couple hundred.
Driving a P-car requires 0-40 Mobil One and a jar of vasoline in the glove compartment.
But, hey, we know that. Right?
Dutchie, a PM was sent and thanks for the efforts.

Oh, just for the sake of...well, being RIGHT, I called the UPS store to see how much it would cost to ship a 5lb box to canada. This was with THEIR packaging, AND matierials, time and THEM shipping it out for the cheapest (ups standard) rate.
They'd charge $42.00

Hmm.. I was curious, so I went to UPS.COM and priced shipping from Nainaimo, BC, to Boulder, CO - UPS standard is $22.52 CA. So you're paying a lot for the box and foam peanuts.
But you're right, it's more expensive than I had thought.. and given the cost of shipping internationally, $25 doesn't seem such a bad deal. And the total price
is still a good deal.
So Rock (or should I say Pedal) on!

That's about EXACTLY the quote I got from UPS. The EXTRA $20 is for their materials, proper packaging of the product, and the time/labor it takes to take care of it. That my friends, is what it costs for someone to send you a package. So you see folks, $25 to ship from Canada is under cost!
It was just the "usual suspects" trying to make big deal out of absolutely nothing.

Would shipping to Canada be the same cost? I'm in Toronto. I can have them shipped on my Fedex account if he will do that then it will cost me bout 8 bux since I get a huge discount based on my volume with them.
I am also an ebay seller and I ship a lot to the US (well 99% acctually) and I'm sending about 30 packages a week so I get a good volume discount on shipping. To send a box that size and weight to even buffalo with all the extra surcharges now would cost me about $18. Then I have to pay for my own boxes (cause stuff you get from taiwan/china that you design or whatever isn't boxed) and packing material. I charge for some smaller stuff $25 shipping and I feel that I'm losing to be honest. It just barely pays for the cost of the material, not even the tape I use to close the box. Anymore and nobody would buy my stuff so what can I do?

Install not too bad. I have had them for a year now...great. My S2000's looked very much the same as these.
