Call them up and ask if there is a distributor in your area. My BP distributor came to my house and delivered 3 cases. Can't ask for easier than that.

Have you checked out LN Engineering?
http://www.lnengineering.com/store/catalog/index.php I recently purchased (2) cases of Brad Penn & a gallon jug of Mobil 1 Delvac for my G50 (fyi, they also sell Swepco) and the shipping costs were reasonable. FYI, a good article, from LN Engineering: http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html |

1 case of BP and a gallon jug of Delvac, shipped to me by LN, will cost $32.38 for shipping...which doesn't seem reasonable to me.
Also, LN charges $56 bucks for a case of BP, while Oil Warehouse charges $36 (with a $23 ship fee). I just can't win!!! I fired off an email to BP last night. Hopefully, they'll contact me soon with some good news. Is it true you can get Delvac at Napa? Anybody???

+1 on finding a local distributor. Last summer I paid $35 for a case, this summer it was $42. I had to drive 30 minutes to go get it, but got a couple of cases so I won't go as often.
