how is shipping calculated?

[Slyp Dawg]

ok, I'm trying to figure out what the shipping on the Mazda Eunos Roadster and the M-04 bearing set is, thus leading be to wonder how shipping is calculated. I do not have an account on stella, as if I end up getting the Eunos it will be my first order from them, so the "go through the checkout to find out the shipping" idea won't work, as you've got to log in in order to see the shipping cost. I've had experience with another shop that is from the same area as you guys (RCmart) and evidently they calculate their shipping based on a hefty percentage of the item cost, and I was wondering if stella uses the same thing. the main reason I'm asking is because the shipping cost is pretty much the deciding factor in whether or not I order the miata and the bearings from stella. if the shipping costs on stella's ebay store are any indication as to what the website will charge, or if they are exactly what the site charges, I won't get the thing from stella, as I can't justify spending only $8 bux less for shipping than for the kit cost. oh yeah, and if it makes any difference, I am on the east coast of the U.S.

I just went thru checkout with shipping to NJ, and cost was $39 for the car on it's own.

Not quite sure why the shipping/car cost ratio is important though, when the car's only $55 compared to $103 from Tower []

I know, but the car/shipping ratio is what kept me from getting one of RCmart's kits. the person who gives me the thumbs up/thumbs down on whether or not I can order something saw the $135 price leap up to $180 when shipping was added and said no. I'll try to convinvce them that it is still cheaper than tower, even with shipping, but I'm not sure how much good that will do

Hello

 

Thanks for your interest in the kits. Shipping is calculated based on the weight of the items plus packing materials. No additional handling fees are added.

 

Regards
