Ames Shipping
I've dealt with Ames for several years and spent a LOT of money.
However, recently I ran into a shipping cost that I think is crazy and they really weren't willing to help me out at all on it. Here was my order: 1) Driver side seat foam 2) Driver side upholstery 3) in-line heater valve Parts cost: about $344 Shipping cost: about $44 Really? What happened to things like free shipping on orders over a few hundred bucks? I think a reasonable shipping cost might have been $20 at most. I'll bet everything could have been stuffed into 6x12x18 box easy and the weight would be nothing. Just saying - I'll start looking elsewhere........ |

This thread is like beating a dead horse, and I stand neutral, but I sent a part (used seat belt sleeves) through the post office recently and the shipping was over $15. I dont think that $40 sounds to bad for all of that stuff.

I just shipped a rifle from Michigan to Nevada and it cost me $ 92.00 without the insurance ! This was through the USPS (United States Postal Service).

Doubtful they could have "stuffed" that entire order in a box less than half that size. Look up "dimensional shipping weight", you'll likely see that what they were charging was reasonable. |

And I bet that if they were "stuffed" into a smaller box and got creased, the buyer would be bitching that they were damaged. I am also sure that there are many people that spent "tons" of money, and more, at APE.

Good attitude.
So far no one is seeing things your way. |

Hmm. The OP didn't reject any other input, just yours.

"Free" freight went away when online shopping took off and fuel prices jumped up. Since freight was never "free", the cost of it was built in to the price of the product. Manufacturers were only able to throw it in because the product was inflated. Now, pricing has to be competitive to get an order, so you pay a separate line item for freight. You always paid it before, it's just a line item now.
