[Shotimes] RockAuto Shipping is Ridiculous!

[Noah South III]

That's a piss poor way of running an online store then.  Outpost doesn't do
that, Newegg doesn't do that, and Tire Rack doesn't do that.  You have a
shipping rate you pay regardless of what warehouse your products are coming
from.  The only thing different warehouse mean is that your parts could get
there days apart.  I'd write them an e-mail and just ask why the shipping is
so high.  Could be a glitch or something and you'll get a small refund.

Your shipping was probably so high because the parts will come from
different
locations in separate boxes.  Not that that helps any....
