I know about the shipping has become almost a burden. All the shipping companies created this phony "FUEL SURCHARGE" when fuel went up, and to this day, everyone of those azzhats have only raised their fees. Not one of them has rolled the shipping charges back even with fuel at half of what it was a year ago. So, this tells me fuel is not a major factor in the total cost, just a tool to leverage more out of the consumer.
I always stumble when I have a part a mopar guy over the border wants it, as the shipping is double what it cost for a local/stateside delivery. OK rant over, but, I just hate dealing with those who gouge the consumer on shipping!!!!
