I can't agree on all their shipping charges. I found a vanagon gasket on
their site for less than a dollar, but it was going to be more than ten
dollars to ship. I upped the quantity thinking that I had met a shipping
minimum, but the configurator on the website just multiplied the shipping
by the quantity LOL!!! Get a set of them was going to cost a hundred
dollars!
