Question WTB: Anyone near Stanton or Covina Autobacs in Cali, Please read!!!

Hey guys and gals:
I recently made an AWESOME roadtrip out to the west coast from Central Florida. I paid a much anticipated visit to Super Autobacs in Covina. I picked up some goodies, one of which was an Autobacs Broadway Mirror. I was stoked from day one since you can't just walk into any auto parts store and buy this.
Anyway, upon returning from my trip, I found that some luggage had shifted in the car and crushed my beloved new Rear view mirror - and it cracked pretty badly.

I've been looking online and I can't find the autobacs brand broadways. (among my other goodies was an autobacs decal but it seems moot without some fun JDM goodies like this)
So, here's the deal:
I'll reimburse shipping and the purchase price (mine was 8.99 for a 300mm convex autobacs brand mirror, plus tax) and, if you feel inclined to charge a fee(gas mileage, or something), we can talk. But if you take pity on my story, (and I hope you do!) then that's my offer.
I can't find one for less than ~$20 shipped from online retailers so I know getting it in a padded mailer and standard postage plus the 8.99 plus tax should be cheaper.

-OR- If you know an online shop that would be the same in price (8.99) plus shipping, please let me know.

Anyone who can help, I promise good Karma!!!

Well -
$8.99 plus tax was what I paid out the door.

I can't find a broadway, regardless of brand, online for cheaper than $17 shipped.
So, I'm hoping maybe someone can help out and save me a few dollars, since I think it'd still be cheaper to ship it overall. Maybe.

If it doesn't pan out in a bit I'll just bite the bullet and buy one online.

Hey thanks! I might jump on this since it's the cheapest so far. Unless someone feels inclined to help shortly

I get 10% with military discount, so I can get it for you for a bit cheaper from Autobacs...I don't live that far from it either.

I can even probably ship one to you on Monday if you'd like...just PM me if no one else mans up.

Thanks to everyone who responded and sympathized. Not sure if Florida has any unique treasures that can be offered but if you need anything from the peninsula LMK.
