Always plus shipping unless we're doing a special sale or something. We are very reasonable on the shipping costs, and if we break even on it long-term, it's all we're trying to do. We just shipped a front splitter today that was 10.00 more than the customer paid, but because we try and average it out across all the orders, we didn't bill the difference to them. That, and if you saw the shipping bill we get every month, you'd really be surprised how much it costs to get stuff moved around...
There's no such thing as free shipping, somewhere, somehow, it's always there (that's why normally the "free" shippers have a higher price or no customer support or something missing...).
We are even getting hit for more and more surcharges now from our suppliers for deliveries and stuff, it never ends, especially with fuel costs continuing to spiral out of control. I dread the day of 4.00 gas, but I don't think it's that far away anymore... Anyway, not ranting, just a little vent. Oh, and FedEx and UPS both have announced rate increases effective the first of the year, so we'll see how that plays into it as well. Hopefully we will be able to absorb that into the existing price for shipping, as it's supposed to be like 5% on average if memory serves.

Just a couple weeks at this point. Rear honeycomb panels are in production right now, we're expecting to finish that up by the end of this week. Once they are done, the tool can be broken down from the injection press, and the new tool loaded with the grill inserts. After some sampling and adjustment, if there are no problems found we will go right into full production, putting us in finished product in two weeks.
Of course, that is contingent on everything going well... and I don't know if you keep score, but on our mold products, the odds are stacked against it running well on the first try, but I have hope on this one...

Waiting patiently. Well, actually not that patiently, sent in the order today for "The List" we talked about. (Merry Christmas to me). Made a small adjustment cause I need my Nitto Redlines, too.
Let us know when we can order.
thx again for what you do for us.

K, we'll we are too at this point, but like last year with the louvers, this becomes the time when you can't rush it - the final stages are what makes or breaks the quality, and it's normally better to take the time to do it right

Well, we're on schedule for sampling mid-week, now that PRI is over. If sampling goes well, production can start right afterwards. I honestly think we're going to be running right into Christmas with this one, but we'll do our best to have them ready and start shipping some out prior to the 25th if possible.
On the plus side, the install instructions look to be about 2 steps, so there won't be a 6 page install to write-up on this to test out prior to release
