Not sure this is happening here with ZL1Addons. I understand their shipping rates are higher than those of Amazon and similar companies with ginormous leverage, but IMO this is far from gouging. Shipping on my latest order from was $11.50 coast to coast. In comparison, the vampires known as NJ Transit charge me $15 daily for a train ticket one way just to get to work. Not trying to complain, just putting this in perspective.

I also support smaller businesses, because one, it's more personal and supporting new and small players feels more American to me, two, I don't want to contribute that much to the day when only one retailer remains in business and then the true gouging begins.

Listen man, Email them and ask for a coupon. they gave me a 10% because I told them I was getting a wicker bill, hardware and a tow hook. They can be reasonable.

Damn right brother. These guys are a tiny outfit making most items to order. I've now dealt with them on two separate car's and multiple orders for both. They make a quality product, quick to fix errors or problems and are honest people. They have to make a profit as well to make it worth their time and effort.

I agree. I started this thread in the hopes of finding a way to get a better discount. I certainly don’t want anyone thinking they are greedy because they charge a lot for shipping. The diffuser I was ordering is large and that accounts for the high shipping cost. At first I agreed with the greed comment but that was misplaced.

Yes I emailed them and like I said in post 11 they took care of me with a discount and lower shipping cost. I think they are trying to keep they’re customer base happy but it’s gotta be tough with the price of shipping these days!

Yeah, was just about to pull the trigger on a diffuser, until I got hit with the 50$ shiping charge. My wicker was only 25$

E-mail or call them and see if they’ll give you a break on shipping or discount the part. I found that they’re very responsive! Good luck!
