Sipping and taxes both lousy. But give this some thought. What does it cost to drive to a dealer or other store to get your stuff? $.050 per mile! What is your time worth? And you usually get to escape your local sales taxes. And how often does a dealer or other local suppliers add shipping onto special ordered stuff? We order and stuff magically makes it to our homes. I personally find it amazing that the world can become so small.

I gotta say though, $17 in shipping for a cap and 4 bumper strip tabs? Can't weigh more than a pound. Total cost for this simple replacement totaled to $30! WOW! I like stock but can't seem to afford the shipping. Ryan On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 3:26 PM The Bus Depot <vanagon@busdepot.com> wrote: > > I see this is available at the usual places.
