I am ordering a replacement clear collar for a customer. When I put it as shipping to me, it had no S&H, so then I changed it and had it as shipping to her...but still no S&H. :confused:

Is that normal? Is there really no S&H on replacement parts??? That just doesn't sound right to me...
 
Really! There is NONE!

Sweet! :love:

Now I can give her the total! Thanks!! :)
 
Yep, they include shipping for free...they only pay tax.

PC does it as a courtesy to our customers...I think it's great!
 
Hmm, I swore I paid...
 
I figure the shipping is built into the price. No one wants to pay $6.50 shipping for a $3 replacement item. Since they use the USPS system to ship, I'm sure it doesn't cost them all that much per item.

Too bad we do pay a price. They ship it the slowest way....:(. I placed an order on the 30th due to arrive on the 12th!! :eek: Let us know when yours is due to arrive?
