All of the courier companies are like that and some of the companies are looking to cash in on the postage hoping you will just do it anyway.another reason i try to stick to people on the forum.i got a set of rims from steve(inbuilder) he quoted me a price for shipping i paidand a day or 2 later i got a message of a refund for shipping from him because it turned out not to be that much.its too bad the guys and gals in the vendor section can't make everything. Then there would be no worries.
