Price Gouging ?

Don’t buy anything at a distance unless you are
prepared to go get it yourself.

#2 diesel has risen over 50% since COVID
started - along with vehicle cost & maintenance
and insurance & lodging & food ….

There is no price gouging going on

If you and the recipient are in the upper Midwest, look to see if you are in Spee-Dee Delivery's area. They are significantly cheaper and aren't as stupid about shipping loose items as the big guys.

Picked up a seat for my Ranch Wagon in Phoenix yesterday. 650 miles/10 hours round trip. Duramax got 20 MPG (would have been more but the speed limit on the I-10 in AZ is 75). And except for one Shell station in Ehrenberg diesel was cheaper in CA than AZ. In some places by as much as 40 cents a gallon. Go figure. Less than $150.00 in fuel. No way I could have had it shipped for that.

We all know it wasn't COVID that raised the gas prices
