Re: [BaadAssGremlins] 20 bucks for shipping!?

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have dealt with Kennedy since the early 80s, really good guy to deal with. 
I'm not sure on the shiping hwoever as something like that should be $10 
max, even if you want all the add ons. Maybe it is a stocking fee? Some 
places charge a stock, or restocking fee? I shipped a metal hood from 
Houston to LA a few weeks ago and shipping was about $480. The place I 
shipped it to however had a contact with the shipper company so it was 
reduced to about $180-$200, but I noticed many places are tacking on 'fuel 
surcharges' also with gas so high, this is everyone from pizza places ($2 
delivery fee in Houston) to flower shops ($1-$3 and only deliver twice a 
day, not whenever when gas cheap) to airlines (some as high as $10) for 
instance.

Me, no fuel surcharge for firing up Bessie's 360 AMC 1972 V8 and driving 
that 72 Ambassador station wagon to USPS or FedEx, as I plan other things to 
do around it, uh, like a stop at Chevron or Citgo!

You might try calling Jeff, he is really backed up since his website went 
up, something like 2-3 week delay in shipping items, so business is good, 
but still a FEMA line, and find out why the difference in shipping rates.
