Jim, I feel your pain, from here it does not matter which coast the parts are on, they are still a long way off. A part in Seattle is 2500 road miles from me, and you haven't seen a high freight bill until you've shipped something to Alaska(or Hawaii). Years ago I shipped a set of headers for a Ford truck from San Diego to Salt Lake City to have them ceramic coated, the UPS ground charge was twelve dollars. The cheapest way to get them from Salt Lake City to Anchorage was UPS second day, we don't have ground service, and the bill was one hundred dollars.
