There's something just wrong for paying $5 shipping for a 5¢ part.



I must respectfully disagree.

I would be surprised if they could find and retrieve that part from stock, package it up, put a label on it, and mail it for $5 without losing money. Remember, there are probably three or four people involved in that process (the person who receives the order, who then tells somebody to go find the part, who then gives that part to somebody in shipping to box it up and mail it out, and then somebody has to do the bookwork -- taking the part off the inventory list, preparing the billing, entering the data in the computer, etc.

Figure in the cost of the postage (minimal, in this case) and the cost of packaging... I wouldn't do it for $5. Not and expect to make a profit.
