Default Fan Shroud

I want to buy the reproduction fan shroud for a 64 A body but you have 30 dollars shipping listed because it is "oversized" I just shipped a 62 inch tube of PVC filled with chrome pieces to the plater to be rechromed USPS priority mail with 1000 insurance for 14 dollars. You cant tell me a fiberglass reproduction is an additional 30 dollars. I know I am gonna have to bite the bullet and buy it eventually but it feels like youre getting screwed paying that kind of money for shipping

Base shipping for an order containing just the fan shroud would come out to $22.00. Then there is an $8.00 oversize bringing the shipping total to $30.00. This seems quite reasonable for a package measuring 29"x21"x5" going by the method of UPS ground. To clear any questions up regarding material, the 64 A-body fan shroud is injected plastic, not fiberglass. Thanks!

wow 14.00 ????

for me insurance for 1000 would be a fat 11.00

and a 5' + tube = would be 3.00 to ship ??? more like 30.00 + thats for sure ...

not happening in Washington state with usps ..........!!!! thats for sure ....

you must be shipping from your work or it ships to your neighboring town ??
