When did I say I expected to pay a premium for shipping? UPS and FedEx
charge an obscene handling fee so I don't use them. US Post does not charge
such fees so I have all my purchases shipped through them.

By the way I'd like to see AAMCO rebuild a syncro transmission or a viscous
coupling (which Weddle Engineering does) is AAMCO your source for "1st class
mechanical service"?

Thanks,
