John:

I was quoted the shipping cost at the time of order, and I assumed that it was comming from the middle of no where, not my neighboring state. As for being impolite, I am a paying customer, which is more than what you can say for a few who use this board quite often. In response to a pay-for-use only forum, I doubt that if Parts shop did that , it would bring them much business. For the proposed $5-$10 a month, you could join MBCA's technical forum and have cash left over. You as a moderator should appreciate the customers who actually patronize the people who run this website above all, and not act like you're doing THEM a favor.
