HELP : T1R quick shifter - shipping cost is $$?

[was2790]

Hi all / Ben,

I'd like to buy the T1R quick shifter and I emailed to info@aj-racing.com.
What surprised me is the shipping cost is really high. The guy (Sam) quoted me 70 CAD (almost the same price as the shifter itself) for shipping to Mississauga, Ontario area (L5V 1X7). I asked the shipping cost using Canada Post 2 days service and he quoted me the same cost.

I also asked about the packaging dimension and total weight of this shifter but so far he did not answer me these questions.

So, could anybody out there help me with this? Ben maybe?
I need these information urgently as I don't live in Canada and the person who live in Ontario will be leaving in the coming 1-2 weeks.

Thanks!!

same feeling here.
get a shipping quote for wheel nuts is 30, just before my order is place. Sam told me the shipping should be over 100 but not 30. I had e-mail with him about the wheel nuits for about a month, and he could tell me that shipping quote is wrong during that period but he only tell me just before my order is being placed.
Indeed, i 'm not very happy with that as i felt i get ripped off. Ben quote me the shipping quote for b-pipe is cheaper consider the b-pipe weight. Hence,i can't figure out why Sam could quote me 100 for shipping just for Wheel nut and the manner he told me just before my order is not a very good way.

Ben or Sam, correct me if i'm wrong here.

I received a new email from Sam, and he told me that AJ racing has a contract with a specific shipping company hence he could not choose or change the service. He still quote me the same cost (minus 10$ discount, which means shipping is 60 CAD, still 75% of the item's price)
Is this true?

I read the shipping section in AJ racing's website and if I understand correctly I can choose to use the Canada Post service.

Well if you think about it, you are in Southeast Asia. It's not like you are shipping something nationally.

@Illusive :
You can see in my first post, that I asked AJ racing to ship the item to Missisauga, Ontario area, which means a domestic shipment inside Canada. I have checked with Canada Post and the cost should not be that high.
