am I getting screwed? - Honda Prelude Forum

I just won a body kit off of ebay for my 94 lude (4 pc) and the guy is trying to charge me $196 for shipping from Lansdale. I've bought several body kits over the years and the most I have ever been charged was $150 for shipping from Cali to Kentucky.

that is alot, but the kit is big

not really, usually UPS doesnt take body kits, sometimes goes through freight service.

Hmm, does the 196 include insurance?

MOBSTER · 10-15-2002, 05:28 PM

No insurance included that I know of.

well i know that cost on shipping for and decent shipping company i.e R+L or others that i cant think of is around 130-150 no more!! plus that is from cali to KY (lexington) and i have been shipped many things and i know that for a fact!! plus that included shipping damage insurance.......soooo imo he is trying to make money on top of what his shipping costs really are........i think hes making about 50 bucks

i think that is a good price...i had to ship a bumper and it cost me 125 for the bumper alone!!!! damn post office

well, that's about reasonable because he can't ship by UPS, he has to go w/ trucking company and they're expensive

check shipping through greyhound, they take oversize and don't cry about it
