Well i bought ross pistons from flatlander racing cause it was only 359, so I ordered ,now I get my bill you believe they charged me 428.22 shipped to hawaii???
Do you believe tax and shipping costs 69.22 I THINK NOT!!!!!!!
Whats wrong with these companies to me this is a scam as i could have bought these from ebay for 400 bucks and payed only a mere 15 bucks shipping and still saved.

 

It seems high, but it depends on the sales tax from where you bought it. if it is ~.08% then your total is about $390. Depends on how heavy the package it is about 10lbs. and shipping to Hawaii is expensive and i believe they only do air shipping, so yes the price adds up pretty quickly. shipping a 10 lbs package to Hawaii costs about 40 bucks. which is somewhat similiar to what you paid. I got all these numbers from UPS website. the actually shipping charge will vary, but around the same price. Sorry man

 

How about calling them and trying to straighten it out?

that, and yes, 2nd day air is the cheapest option to Hawaii for alot of shipping companies, so thats all you get, is 2nd day Air. I bet you got them nice and quick

 

Yeah im calling it was 2nd day ups from california, hawaii is off the coast so its even cheaper, the box weighs a mere 5 pounds i just got my eagle rods and it weighs twice as much and shipping was only 14 bucks ups.

 

Yeah but the place you bought them from might have had a set price for shipping, or did not account for the Hawaii option, and just took the loss. But flatlander took into account Hawaii and charged accordingly. I hardly think you could call this company a scammer, first you have not really looked into the situation. What has been your expensive shipping to Hawaii from previous experience?

Yeah il let u all know the outcome, fact is I order tons of parts from california and this takes the top with the shipping, shiipping to hawaii is like 10 bucks extra not 70 bucks
BTW Turn up ur boost bro im sohc is netting me that hp

 

Well I guess they didnt scam me but i feel that way
Shipping was over 60 bucks I tought they were in california ends up there from new hampshire from east coast, guess it tells u if ur in hawaii order frm west coast.
Erase this entire post if possible

 

wow that's a big accusation on a forum with this many peeps

 

Is anyone else sick of these I got scammed by the so-and-so shop when in reality it turns out to be a misunderstanding?!?!?!? It seems like more and more of these posts are popping up, please contact the shop first and straighten things out.

 

Why would you be paying sales tax? Do they have a business presence in HI ?

 

Ends up after calling ups i find out the shipping was actually only 36.00 dollars, so in fact they did scam me and im waiting on a refund which would not have been gotten if i didnt look in to this.
Fact of the matter is in Hawaii we do get scammed by unnapropriate shipping charges.
