Joe,
There are certain limitations on which parts make sense to purchase online. Certainly small value items like individual oil filters or gaskets are not beneficial to buy online, because the freight adds too much to the cost. We have all of our Delco priced at 16% off of Jobber which is typically about 30% less than our competition. The freight costs are calculated online straight from the UPS database based on zip-code information.
I do have a one year web-birthday special going that may help you out. In the shopping cart there is a field to enter a promotional code. If you will type "Birthday" in that field it will give an additional 10% off (until the end of March 2010). Hopefully that will help allay the costs of some of the freight. We will also upgrade and "UPS Second Day" to Fedex Standard overnight for the same cost.
Thanks for checking with us. Even if this part doesn't make sense because of the freight, please keep us in mind in case you have a need for a higher dollar purchase in the future. ALL of the Delco items are highly discounted and the savings add up quickly.
We appreciate your business!!

I have found that when I run across a really good price, sometimes it is worth buying several of any item that I will use over and over (oil filters for example). Also, If I am anywhere close I try to include a couple of low cost add ons to get to the "Free freight" amount. It's almost like getting those things for free.
