Dave H (MI) said: (quoted from post at 11:16:48 11/30/09) I hear what you are saying, but the choice to use UPS exclusively is theirs and I do blame them for it. You are a carb guy so I am sure you realize what the seals look like on a carb shaft...choke for example. VERY small part yet I recently had a company tell me they would charge me $11 to send me one of these seals. When I asked to have it dropped in an envelope with a stamp on it they got a little testy about it. Fortunately it happened that some more parts were needed about a week later so I had the seal included. Not all companies are going this route but it has been pretty constant this year and, frankly, I am getting tired of being mugged on the internet by UPS.

If you want it to arrive in the condition it was in when sent, it has to be packed into a box, and then the cost goes up to the minimum for a package. I don't like it anymore than you or anyone else does, but those delivery trucks do not operate for free, and the high cost of fuel is the one main reason for shipping costs to be that high.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction?
