Default Where to buy Cup Lip?

Guys, I'm in need of a cup lip (or several) after recently destroying mine in my own driveway out of all places. Currently running a beat up old one that I saved...

I haven't had to buy one in a couple of years when there used to be a vendor here selling them for very reasonable money. Sunset now has them for $150 but they want to charge another $180 for shipping. FVD sells them for $195. Anyone else? Thx!

I bought my cup lip from FVD a month or so ago. With the rennlist discount the lip was $175 plus $70 to ship to me in California.

I get them from Rhonda and don't think I've ever seen a $70 S/H charge.

Thanks Ryan, but Pelican doesn't have them unfortunately.

I ended up using a 20th century method of communication just now - the telephone. Anyone heard of those? It's not being used much these days apparently... Called Sunset, spoke with Luke and he is adjusting the shipping so it will be a lot more reasonable.

Another 20th century method is giving a local shop with a PMNA account and seeing if they can order for you. I ended up paying about $180 through my shop for one.

Surprised at the shipping charges. Being urethane, I would have thought they could be wound up into a box and left in the sun for a few hours to unwind upon arrival, greatly saving shipping size and cost in the process.

Glad you were able to get one reasonably ilko.

Just for future reference, we always take care of forum members with 5%-10% discounts depending on the item. Just pm me for the latest promo code. If something looks incorrect shipping wise, please don't hesitate to contact me directly and I can get it sorted.

Rhonda / FVD are the best! Service sourcing packing shipping advice and access to any part I need for any project. The service I've received at FVD has truly been outstanding. Josh

You're in SoCal now right? You could have BBI, GMG, Vision, Hergesheimer or any of the local shops with PMNA accounts order a few for you. Either pick them up or shipping should be much less.

I order a few at a time at BBI, have 1 clean one hanging in the garage...
