Yeah, they all charge a minimum shipping charge, but TRF had to backorder two
parts, but shipped them free, for a total of three shipments with only one
shipping charge. They lost money on those parts as they cost only a few dollars
each. So, it all averages out. It's amazing how expensive it is to ship stuff
these days. I sent an old generator to Fred Thomas and it cost $16!
