If I were needing a $2 part, I might choose to buy it locally and pay no shipping.
Where you shop is up to you. Wayne has talked about shipping many times before and he's even changed the way things are done, in an attempt to fix some of these perceived issues. It's a complex issue. I don't mind paying for shipping. It is what it is. I'm not a huge fan of the Amazon model of selling.

I think the point of contention was that other places sell for less, shipping included...
I don't buy a lot of Porsche specific stuff, but when I do I try to buy from here to support the community.
Prices though, are often cheaper elsewhere...
Thats no different than the other boutique sites such as Ferrari parts stores... I try to support sponsors, but shopping around you see that prices vary widely.
I really wish this site sent out more of those 10 and 20% off coupons they used to do years ago... Almost every site does that now, and I get them religiously from almost every auto website I frequent...
If its a couple bucks difference, I go with the sponsor. If its a huge difference, I go with the alternative...
