Since I bought my Stelvio not too long ago and I liked how involved Alfissimo was as well as their looks to be quality parts, I had no doubt I would end up ordering things there.

My first item was gonna be something small, coolant bleeder screw. Good quality and price, till I add shipping. Mind you, I live in lower 48. $18 for the screw but almost $15 for shipping for that tiny thing?

Might have to reconsider

That the downside of ordering small low cost items. I ordered the Stelvio and Giulia bleeder screws and that was the shipping cost for both. Just add more stuff to your order and the shipping probably won’t change.

Yeah, I am not sure how I feel about it. I can provide them a shipping label for $5 and it will get here just fine too. It's not about how much the total is, it's really about, I'd rather wish they charged $30 for the screw and $5 for the shipping. Then, I'd probably be more understanding. Again, it's my stupid rant, no feelings hurt and no harms intended.

I noticed the shipping was exorbitant but i figure - ill take the loss to get a quality product from a reliable American source. I ordered the bleeder screw and many other items always shipping is more or close to the price of the actual item from California which i think hes based out of, im in New york so shipping anything is a bitch cost wise.
