Hi Khalid,
We did agree to 219 + shipping. The shipping was 25.
Shipping is something that we cannot discount. Our computer system is tied to the UPS shipping system and automatically gets inputted into the computer system based on what UPS charges. The shipping that you are paying is the same shipping that a dealer would pay if they ordered from us.
I checked with the shipping department to find out why the cost was $25. They told me that the package is “oversizedâ€. What that means to you is that sometimes boxes are what UPS calls “oversizedâ€. They deem packages “oversized†based on its total “girth†(combination of length, width, and height. The boxes that house the Hayabusa Mototeck undertails happen to be “oversizedâ€. Our shipping department can fit them in smaller boxes, but then they would not be following UPS packaging guidelines (there must be a certain number of inches in between the product and the carton wall. If our shipping department does not follow UPS packaging guidelines and the item is damaged in transit, then UPS will not pay the claim. That means that you will be stuck with something that is damaged and you will be unable to obtain a replacement.
If you would like to verify all of the above information you can call UPS at 1-800-742-5877. I can also obtain the carton dimensions from our shipping department so you can contact UPS to get a price quote from them.
The retail on the Mototeck undertails are $300. You are paying 219. Regular dealers pay 240 when they order in low quantities. They still pay $25 for shipping.
I apologize if there was any confusion. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Rob
