Why is shipping so expensive for a small or inexpensive item?

Why does shipping cost so much?

OK4WD does not mark up shipping costs. The amount displayed at checkout reflects exactly what the carrier charges to deliver your order — we do not add any handling fees or surcharges on top of that rate.

Why can a small part have high shipping costs?

It can look out of proportion because carriers price by box size and weight, not by what’s inside. A small, affordable part that ships in a long or heavy box can cost more to send than you’d expect.

Do any orders qualify for free shipping?

Most orders over $125 shipped within the contiguous U.S. qualify for free shipping. Freight-shipped items are the exception.
