Well I was gonna order it. But since the part is only $5 they will not ship it to me! And I can't go today cause Michelin got me building tires til 7. Lol. Guess I'm gonna have to spend $60 in gas monday to get a $5.00 part!!

Here's what I'd try....

Ask your parts supplier if they'd ship it to you if it were a $35 part. If so, have them mark it up appropriately.

or

Post a thread on the .org looking for someone who lives near your parts supplier who would be willing to pick up the part and ship it to you overnight, or however you prefer - for $30 - $60 (your time should be worth something to you). It seems we have a number of members who are unemployed or otherwise under some financial stress. This could be a win/win for everyone.

Sounds like you're experiencing what I label the "small town premium". Sure it's cheap to live there, but finding competent people to perform services for you, and getting things done in a timely fashion carries a price.

Good luck with your project.
 
Or do you the part number handy?

i would spend another $50 on something they had that i wanted and get them to ship it rather than spend the $ on gas and waste my time...spend the same amount, save your time, and get extra goodies :beerchug: just my $.02
