Angry This has to be a joke!

So I see CKRC has rovers on sale for $12 a pair... yaa throw them in my cart. So when I go to check out, along with 2 "sets" of the 3oz lead weights (ya that maybe handy) I go to check out and "$7.??" to ship ! I remove the lead weights "shipping $7.??"!!!!! Wow turns out that the cheaper tire price is a gimik right With RRP having the rovers out of stock and the buy get one deal..... what to do. So moral of the rant is check shipping before buying. As it is I didn't buy them, disgusted at what they want to ship 2 pairs of tires :? Anywhere have a better price w/shipping not being a rip I am sick of my mud slingers and CR-01's :-P

$7 is a high shipping price? That seems to be the standard these days....

7 bucks is pretty cheap for shipping considering most basic priority rate packages cannot ship for less than $5.75. Then add in packaging, time to pull the parts and manpower to package them. Not too bad of a deal my friend.

Everything costs money. Some things more than others.

Now if shipping was 20 bucks, I'd understand, but 7 bucks is a good deal! You couldn't drive there to get them for 7 bucks!

I bought 3 sets of Rovers from RPP . Shipping was fast and reasonable. I also got my winch in the same order. Thanks Cory .

I will not deal with CKRC. I use RPP and TCSCrawlers for just about every thing. I use Holmes Hobbies for all my good electronics stuff. Just my $.02.

Dude its Priority Shipping probabaly that you picked. 2-3day shipping for 8 bucks isnt bad at all. pick parcel 3-9days if u want cheap.

and they are on sale for $10.99 too so they are still prob the cheapest out there.

Standard Priority shipping with delivery comp is $5.65 with the small flat rate box. Medium flat rate box (what it would take to ship 4 Rovers) with delivery comp, $11.05.

Its worth it if your buying other things...kind of what the sale is intended for...to bring you there to buy other stuff...create a new customer.

You're this upset over $7 for shipping...wait till you see some of the overinflated shipping charges on Ebay. I was surprised to find an item cheaply on Ebay that I had been looking for...only to see that it was so cheap because the guy wanted $43 to ship ground from Washington. It was a damn flashlight :?

There are people out there that do try screwing you in the shipping cost...but $7 is about the going rate and is even cheaper than some places.
