I deal with mail order firms regularly that include the shipping and
handling in the catalog price of the item. Its great, I use them almost
exclusively for those products. (Midway for firearms related stuff) The
difference being that it is a more competitive market for those goods.
Midway's prices enable them to compete with local suppliers as well as
other mail order firms.
There are no local suppliers for my Triumph parts in Aiken SC. So I
shop & shop some more to find the best base price and suffer the
shipping costs like everyone else. Next time order additional larger
items and spread your overall cost rather than, well, whining. It the
cost of our hobby.
And if you start your own mail order Triumph parts firm and don't charge
for shipping I would probably consider using you if your prices were
competitive.
