I was just about to order this great looking back pack, but then I saw they wanted almost $8 for shipping! >> Outrageous! <<
I still think the crazy high prices on a few Amazon items are just ways to transfer money "under the table".
Wonder what's in that backpack ...

Try ordering stuff internationally. I accidently paid $17 to have a $5 o-ring mailed from the US. Most American companies seem to really go out of their way to avoid international sales.
Seems it works both ways, too. A small belt for my Sony turntable was $4.00. shipping from Old Blighty was $7.00... I ordered two just to assuage my pique. :smirk:
smartarse.
I recently replaced the steering bushing on my 7. Looked at Moss Motors. They wanted about $19 for the part, but what burned my backside was they also wanted nearly $8 to ship it to me. We're talking about a small piece of plastic. So I looked at VC. Theirs was closer to $15 for the part and $6 to ship. It was cheaper to buy and ship from overseas than right here in the US. Go figure.
I finally broke down and joined Amazon Prime. Admittedly I order a lot of products on line and have a keen sense/ability for reading the description. I order on line because I hate going from store to store, don't want to research/search for the product and I guess you can say I'm pretty much lazy. Having confessed I can't remember when I've paid for shipping. Always use free shipping and I'm doing the happy dance.
