Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
That's pretty funny. I'd imagine there's something a little goofy causing their system to calculate it as truck freight. Looks like it might have something to do with the "special order" nature. Might be drop shipping from the manufacturer or something goofy. It might be worth the phone call to find out why it's showing the $99 truck fee.

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
Yeah, that looks like a goof. A phone call would have straightened that out.

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
I agree about that being a miscalculation of some sort.
Unless Summit has gone "crazy".
I have ordered everything from full cat back exhaust systems to wheels and never been charged more than a $10.00 handling fee and/or a $10.00 oversize fee.
And they have never even charged me tax.

Yep It's Not A Goof Or Miscalculation That's Their Ship Policy,Odd That They Consider It A Truck Freight Part Where As Jeg's And Rock Auto Ship It UPS.

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
When I ran a search on Summit for P/N 47597, three parts were returned. Click in the "in stock" filter, the search results were reduced to a rear view mirror for 3/4 - 1 ton Fords.
Perhaps current stock status suggests that the shipping cost you see is truck freight from a Walker distributor.

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
All that is necessary is to "CALL" Summits Tech Line with questions or concerns then place the order at that time if you want.
The "Tech Reps" at Summit know there stuff and have been very helpful to me in the past.
Its always been my "go to" on line store for "other than stock" parts.

Your going to pay $100 no matter what even with the cheapest option at $99.98. Why not just get something else from summit that you could use that would make your shopping cart right around $100. That would get you the most for your money.

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
This is strange to me as it would not come as truck freight. I cant remember if i ordered my walker i pipe from summit or rock auto. Usually i order everything from summit and it definately wasnt truck freight when i got it

Try Advance Auto parts. I've gotten Walker parts from them several times, price match and no shipping.

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
Bought the Amp steps for my truck though summit and they're way bigger then that exhaust. Total shipping cost $0. However I also bought some other stuff and my total was a little north of $1800 though lol!

I've ordered my full exhaust system through them and more and always just price matched the lowest I could find online. I ended up paying around 175$ for my magnaflow catback a couple years back, shipped to store. and quite a few things since.

As for this main topic its definitely an oversight or glitch. I've never paid for shipping from Summit was always free in the end lol

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
Thats when you get to know your new good friend at the commercial parts pro Counter, he has more control over prices due to the fact it's his job to keep commercial clients and shops happy.

Ya I tried that and .........
The town I live in for now only has O'reilly Auto and Autozone. Nearest pep boys is 15 miles away and nearest Advance auto is 10 miles away
Neither commercial account D-bag wanted to work with me !! After telling them i spend about $1000 a year on new parts for friends, Customers and family.
Can't wait to leave Oklahoma in a few months !!!!

Re: BE MINDFUL OF SUMMITS OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COSTS
So I just got off the phone with Summit about this and your totally right.
There is no getting around it.
It dose not matter if you add items to the order because it not Summit charging the freight.
Its the trucking co.
I do not really understand that because of this. =
I went to Summit on line to see how much shipping was on a Cat Back. Its $99.00 to my door. ( part # 17234 is on sale for $398.67 )
Went to Jeg's Performance for the same Cat Back and shipping = FREE Standard Shipping to my door. (same part # 17234 is $442.97 )
