Why am I so cheap?

Why am I so cheap?
I can't bring myself to pay 11.52 for shipping on 2 tiny radio ***** that cost 10.00 each. Postage is like .85cents. It's just the principle of the matter.

But you can bring yourself to look at the crappy ***** everytime you get into your car ? I ordered my replacements while I was ordering other stuff, that way I got them shipped for free and only paid the shipping on the other stuff I ordered.

I know....when I ordered my other stuff was not aware they had them.
Also if I could get 12 for tossing 2 ***** in an envelope I would be all over it. Get the drift on looking at the ugly ***** though. Maybe order a windshield screen too.

I am not a business owner and could never understand it when the shipping cost is outright out of proportion compared to the total cost. I often do not deal with businesses like this. 80% of the time, I could find otherr places where the shipping would be "normal".
I see that your parts are actually $20.00. It never makes sense to me for them to charge $11.52. I bet that if they quoted me $9.99 (odd-price marketing strategy), I probably would have said yes.
Yes, people don't work for free. But I am sure that when they pull these 2 small *****, it does not cost $10.00 in labor.
Again, perhaps I am just naive.

I wouldn't send it in just an unprotected envelop. But you could send them a protected envelop--self addressed with postage. If they'd let you.

The problem is that you think that your price for the ***** is $20. The price is actually $31.52; $15.76 per ****...for a car that cost over 100K new.

Lol...think is more to do with the principle....I spent at least 9k on the car in mods since August. So the money is really not the issue. It's my warped sense of value.

How warped are the forum police here that the word " ***** " gets turned into ***** ? When I see the word ***** I'm thinking, you know, door *****, the ***** on gas stove, radio *****....that kind of thing. What are the forum police thinking when they see the word ***** ? Maybe that explains the photo battle gizmo at the the top of the home page....

I hear ya. When I order pretty much anything to Canada from USA I take it in the... you get it. I'm just like a sucker and keep paying so it's just noise now

I don't know why but I can totally empathize with you. (it drove me nuts to pay $4 shipping on a $2 pencil sharpener my daughter had to have.) In your case it Sort of makes you wonder why they don't charge $15 each and give you free shipping?

You're right, they are not showing up now on my lap top but did show up on my Ipad. Don't recall setting up any special filter on it. Guess it's the Apple police at work. My appologies to the forum police.
