Have you done a checkout yet. I was going to order the upper and lower SS grill but after seeing the shipping charges I almost fell out of my chair. Shippiong is high for these items.

shipping on everything is outrageous... look on eBay, lots of times it costs more to ship an item than the item is worth. it isn't just grill inserts, it is EVERYTHING

That's what I don't like about places that ship UPS. Shipping charges upon my receiving the items were horrendous.

Taz, that's the brokerage fees. UPS and DHL are always going to be that way if you want it shipped by them. Without one, haveing a brokerage of your own, or two, shipping by Priority International... ur always gonna pay brokerage. It's what the UPS ppl get to do the customs stuff just so you can be charged tax.

We ship internationally, and I rarely see brokerage cost less than 25 for the smallest of items....

No I haven't done a check out yet to see total cost of the replacement grille.

UPS charges more cause for one reason they're the best in the business. Not trying to do a TV commercial on you. I work for UPS remember. They get hit with higher fees unlike USPS does.

Yes my cat thought he could climb on the car when it wa wet. He muct have thought he was sliding so he dug claws in to the grille to keep himself on the car.

I had the car setting out and was working on the g/f's car that day. That should teach me to work on her car.

Or maybe she should pay for the replacement grille? (sounds good to me)


Duane, I have to laugh when I'm searching ebay and see something listed at $10 with shipping at $15. you know the seller is trying to make the money from the shipping versus the part itself. I was looking at 9004 headlights. Some sellers want $50 shipping on two headlight bulbs.
