Kleen-Rite Detailers Advantage tire foam / Midwest guys

Kleen-Rite has their Armor All detailers advantage tire foam for $38/case. That is an incredible price. However, if you live in Midwest, Tx like me, you get hit w/ $22 shipping, & now it's no longer a great price....just a pretty good price. How do we get KR to sell this product put of Dallas warehouse?
 
Not the same thing, but I recently sent a coin acceptor to CO for repair. It cost me $6.10 to ship it Priority Mail. When I received it back from them, the bill was $112, including over $21 in shipping. Shipping guogers just grind my gears...:mad:

I also hate when they claim free shipping when the price often reflects shipping charges over similar items. I guess companies that do that must think operators are dumb asses that can't figure the game out. The reality is that there is no such thing as free shipping. I know of no shipping company that does not charge anything to ship. It either it costs the seller or the buyer or in some cases both.
 
Just sent a Dixmore back for repair from south FL. NDA is $80 each way. For a box that doesn't even weigh a pound. Prices went way up when gas was $4/gal, but they never seem to go down.

Mac, Have you ever heard of US Priority mail. Costs about nothing compared to UPS. I send everything I can by Priority mail, problem is most of the car wash suppliers refuse to send it back Priority mail. They say they can’t track it. The real reason is they can’t tack on their BS handling fees. Just sent a Hamilton validator to Pensacola Florida cost $12.45 and it was delivered in 2 days. UPS would have been close to $30 and take a week to get there from the Seattle area. I refuse to send anything NDA UPS, to expensive.
 
Likely best to have a spare dixmoor. No down time and ground shipping when service needed.

You could always wait 'til they have a free shipping deal going and buy 6 months or a year's supply.

Order it and tell them you will pick it up in Dallas. They will put it on their transfer truck that runs constantly between locations.

Try ordering from Jim Coleman. They upcharge all of their shipping. Charged me $21 for a tiny box.

I'm sure a good portion of that freight is a handling fee they tack on.

Worst shipping I've ever paid was when I bought some RAM for a laptop off eBay, said $10.95 shipping and I ordered three sticks. I never considered they wouldn't combine the shipping, so I ended up paying $32.85 shipping for a padded envelope with 68¢ postage on it.
