Spark plugs from RA ‐‐ aka the lesson I never learn

[John105]

Wait a sec. RA does not offer free shipping ????? I'm not a member, so I don't know. Walmart is $ 35 and over free shipping, then you have Scamazon's Prime ( really not free shipping ). Please enlighten me. Will be becoming getting an RA account shortly. unless otherwise informed. No free shipping. No account.

Why not look at the out the door price, if $11.99 shipping means it's more than Walmart, then go Walmart. If all the parts plus $11.99 is less than Walmart, go RA. That seems more rational lol

I thought they had gone to a minimum $40. for shipping years ago, I misunderstood.

Spark plugs are something that doesn't like being dropped or mishandled.
They should be packed in the center of bubble wrap in their own box. You know like when they have those school kids pack an egg and drop them from a helicopter, the egg that doesn't break wins the contest.
Almost no one knows how to pack things correctly.

Yes, I'll do my math homework on it. So , RA has pretty much " Tier" shipping prices. I understand now. The more expensive, the higher the tier. Thank you guys. And yes, Walmart still only has $ 35 min on shipping. I use them all the time. Actually, they have come up on their selection game on auto parts online. Cheap too., and quality parts...... Walmart not going down without a fight !!!!!!! LOL

Not when ya pay $40.00 for shipping zero savings there.

$9.99 shipping total - and I saved $13 per plug.

And I also got some Premium Gard filters for the Toyota for under $5!!!!

Only reason to go to the local store is I need it right now - like a pro would.

I got the Draw Tite hitch and Allen bike racks from Walmart.....neither amazon nor other etailers could touch their low prices. Also got a 20 lb propane tank from Walmart for $37 a couple years ago....they do win at times!
