Resto Design does not tell you the shipping cost for 2 ounces of product until shipped.

I dunno guys, these seems pretty transparent, at least to me..



Maybe I'm misreading the tone here, but this seems like undue criticism.

The relays don't fit in an envelope, so why is it a surprise that international postage for a package isn't cheap? Shipping costs have been going up for years, and hasn't been inexpensive for a long time.
And isn't it common sense that the shipping for just 2x relays isn't going to be that cost effective if you're considering a per-unit landed cost? If you'd ordered in 20x, you'd likely be saying, "wow, the shipping was wasn't much, just $2/each."

I guess that when it's too often difficult these days to get genuine parts for even common mass-production daily drivers, when I find a high-quality part is available to solve a problem on a low-volume classic sportscar, my thoughts aren't about a few extra bucks in shipping costs, but rather, "man, it's great that someone gave enough of a damn to make that."

My $0.02
