Needle and Seat - $18.00 each - okay, pricy but okay.

Ask how much the total of the order will be, $36 plus shipping. I should have asked about the shipping.

Got hit for $20.21 for ground service shipping. They could have easily been tossed in a USPS Priority bag for about $8-$9. And the mailman will pickup their mail just like he does every week day so they didn't have to go out of their way. I mean we're talking about a few ounces for each needle and seat - right?

Live and LEARN - again.

BLP is top notch, i know because ive been doing biz with BLP for 20 plus years.

With that being said id imagine there's a real good reason BLP doesnt use envelopes for shipping. This comes to mind because of a recent purchase.

We just got a dominator carb for our heads up Ultra Street nitrous radial tire car from BLP. Nice unit i might add. It came to us double boxed from UPS. Well guess what? You got it, one of the bowls was damaged and the inner box had a hole in it.

BLP took care of us like champs, but they wanted the boxesas evidence in order to be back compensated from UPS for the additional bowl. BLP didnt double box, although they may now.

Now imagine an envelope.

I remembered this topic when I ordered idle feed jets and 2 circuit metering blocks. I called them direct when I saw the shipping fees when ordering on line were crazy. When I called they apologized and quoted a fair shipping amount.

Not knowing the from / to zip codes, a small box via UPS or USPS is $21 now? Wow. We just shipped almost 900 boxes of treats and supplies to troops overseas via the USPS Large Flat Rate Box and they were only $18.90 each. How much do these things weigh?
