x2. that's an absurd amount to pay for ONE headlight to be shipped. especially if you buy the pair off them. that would be over 100 for both to be shipped! crazy!

by the way, i have never dealt with them. sorry i could not be any help!

you should defenetly email them and say wtf is with the shipping.. do they ship in a solid gold box? thats why i hate ebay.. you can get anything on ebay for 5 bucks but then pay 100 shipping. like people dont notice before they buy.

honestly, if i braught a headlight housing to the ups store i bet theyd do it for 15-20 bucks. if they werent on my car id do it just to see how much theyd charge then email the company.

look up airsoft on ebay, thats where its most prominent.

People try to even out the prices between the shipping and the price of the item so they dont have to pay Ebay as much money..

Example: You buy a cf hood for 100$ and shipping is 400$. The seller only has to pay ebay a certain cut of the 100$ (which would be smaller than if he sold an item for 400$). See what i mean?

Ebay doesnt take as much of a cut of the profit when the dollar value of the actual price of the item is lower, so they keep the item price down and make money off of the shipping that is untaxed by ebay

Also, I believe they do that to cover themselves if something were to happen. If they carbon fiber hood was defective, since you only paid 100 for it, the 400 to ship it is non refundable.

Well that may not be the case with a hood, but on the smaller items the internet business' may be selling.
