Yep, but pre-covid (everybody's excuse for screwed up prices) it was usually smart to shop elsewhere first, as dealerships are often called stealerships for a reason. Clearly Tasca wants us all good to go back to the dealerships.
I would rip it out and throw it away, but as I've seen in the past, it protects the paint from engine heat.
Did you try a different online dealer to see if the rates are different? I am pretty sure that they aren't inflating those shipping prices for their own gain. That is FedEx/UPS doing that
I always thought shipping costs went by weight and not size? Maybe I'm wrong though.
You're wrong. Large boxes that don't weigh much get an adjustment charge. Makes sense, takes up space that other heavier boxes could occupy.
That shipping price they're charging doesn't make any logistical sense. That means a large poster board would cost more to ship than a transmission. I've seen fwd transaxles that are smaller than a milk crate but weigh several hundred pounds. I wonder what criteria they use to determine what to charge for size vs weight?

Almost can’t believe truck line shipping wouldn’t be less than that, that shipping cost is ridiculous.
I ordered a bumper from Honda pre covid and the dealer refused to ship it at all. They said to pick it up or they will send it back. I woke up early and made the 3hr round trip drive.
^^This. Dealership parts departments will usually do whatever it takes to sell parts. I do this all the time, and they always meet or beat the online price.
We don't, but we aren't hungry anymore. For the last two years it's more like about to pass out at the Golden Corral.
