This should be a sticky...for being a silly newbie comment. Boo hoo sir...we don't care about your personal issues on shipping costs. Why would you need to complain about CKRC? Shut up and move on.

I paid $8.00 shipping for 4 foam tires today. Didn't think that was bad.

That is correct! I ship everyday Priority USPS. The only cheaper way to send it Priority would be if they put the tires in a USPS Flat Rate envelope (Large) and didn't add Shipping Conf, that would be $4.95. But the envelope could tear or the items could get "lost" on the way. $7 isn't crazy man. You could add more to your checkout cart and the shipping would stay the same if not close to the same price most of the time for smaller items.

$7 will just cover the shipping charges and gas to get to the PO. Go to your local USPS and look at the prices to ship then get back with us......

Well part of my gripe is that was the cheapest/SLOWEST method available... when I order stuff from tower I can get by at $5 shipping mostly for faster shipping... thats my main gripe. Ya we had a hobbytown down the road but they boarded up and went bybye I guess I felt it was a lil much for the slowest method available.. guess I like saving money The total with shipping was a bit over $30.... a bit high for 2 tires and 2 pairs of lead weights... then again a set of tires for my truggy cost me $80 but then again I got a lil "help" footing the bill

$30 bucks for 4 tires and weight shipped to your door sounds like a excellent deal to me!

Ok I'll chime in too. $7 for four 2.2 (or 1.9's) is very reasonable.

You want priority shipping also, parcel post does not get sorted by weight when usps puts it on the truck/plane. No big deal for tires but for something that can be damaged its really important. Things get smashed even if they are stamped "fragile"

I would have to agree with most of the people from this thread. $7 seams within the reasonable range.

Since you mentioned Tower. Let's compare:
Tower
Rovers 21.69 x 2 = $43.38
Shipping 5.00
Total $48.38

CKRC
Rovers 12 x 2 = $24
Shipping 7
Total $31

Seems like CKRC is $17 cheaper. You are seriously whining about saving $17? If the $2 is that important, don't drink milk for a week of school lunches and you'll have your $2.

Good thing you don't live outside of the US. It costs me usually 15 to 25 dollars to get parts shipped here, and that's just regular delivery with tracking. Same with sending stuff to the US from here. If I could get something shipped for 7 bucks, I'd be all over it !

I ship all the time too. And $7 is what I'd say is a fair price. Hell I just paid $9 shipping for some VP Berg knuckles I like to get the best price for shipping, but sometimes you can't avoid it.

thats a pretty fair price, I usually wait to i need a few parts then place an order but when you need something screw it, its 2.99 a gallon of gas, and my hobby shop doesnt always have the parts I need.
Stop complaining
