Probably peoples have talk about this somewhere but I didn't find the thread... anyway I just wanted to make a small order, only 0.80 lbs and after the checkout, the price was 40$US !!! Do you think it's a mistake or they just overcharged the shipping?
Thanks

I've had this arguement with them before. They actually had lost my business over it. I had a shipment last January ( when they changed over the website ), they charged me $40 or so, the package arrived with a postage/shipping label of $26.50. Things went downhill from there. Amanda sounded sympathetic to my problem, but refused to do anything, so instead of me buying from them 6 or 7 times per year they get only 1 desperation order. They just didn't seem to give a turkey.

I just ordered from them a few days ago, I ordered many item (200$ worth) and I paid 18$ for shipping.
At least they finally offered USPS vice UPS shipping. Before it was even more of a nightmare with USP's brokerage getting tacked on top.
I see that a lot though from the U.S.; wrong estimates for shipping and usually the tagged cost on the package being considerably less. I guess they could argue it as a handling charge but then they don't add a handling charge for domestic orders.
Canadians taking the pain again. I wish suppliers would figure it out.
Their shipping is gross. I ordered a flipper coil and it cost 3 times as much to ship as the part actually cost.

I find if you have to order from Marco ( this is MY last resort - it's only if NO other supplier has the part ) I wait until I have a large order OR get somebody to order with you. When you split the costs it doesn't hurt so bad.

If having something shipped from the US and they insist on UPS, do yourself a favour and insist that it be sent via AIR with brokerage pre-paid. Often it comes out the same as or less than UPS Ground + Brokerage and Paperwork Fees (yes they now charge a separate charge for preparing border paperwork, in addition to the brokerage handling fee).
In November I made a $200 order, and shipping was about 21 US. I thought maybe they'd revised their shipping/gouging payments to reflect actual cost. Then a few weeks ago I went to make a smaller order, in the neighbourhood of $40 and not very heavy, and the shipping was $35! Needless to say, I found the parts elsewhere. Seems to have no rhyme or reason to their shipping quotes.
