Hey, i'm going to order tires within the next few days. I was getting 21 razr's for the front, and 20 razr's for the rear. But on rockymountainatv, shipping will be 55 bucks standard with my handlebars, front sprocket, 250r hood, front wheeel spacers, and kill switch. Is there any place that would be cheaper, or is rockymountain the best deal.

Thanks

55 bucks doesn't sound bad to me for all that stuff!! Go for it.

yup, $55 for shipping sounds pretty cheap for everything that you ordered. i don't believe you can get any cheaper than that.

Actually, $55 is high. Thats how they get some of their money back for selling the tires cheap.

55 is high? Even for all that stuff they're shipping to him? That hood would take up a lot of room and wheel spacers aren't that light.

That would cost around $30 -$40 through UPS depending on where you live.

they got to make their money back somewhere. Same with Ebay. They make their money with shipping.

I can't always give the best deal but I am honest on my shipping prices!

you guys are correct, alot of deals seem great till they bust yer *** with inflated shipping prices. alot of places charge a minimum, like service honda. they got me for $8 shipping on 2 small seals that cost .16 cents:mad:

Eton charged me $14.50 shipping for a $3.50 gas cap. :mad:

I avoid ordering tires whenever possible. I go to the local atv shop and see what they already have. Or if I need something specific, I take in an ad saying the tires cost "X" price, what can you get them for me? Sometimes ordering through a shop you don't have to pay shipping and you get the parts faster.

JMO though.:)

my local dealer wanted $75 a piece for some razr 22"..NOT THE 2 version....rockymountain had them at my door on the other side of the country 2 days later for $100 shipped

The best "Deal" isn't about the best price, it is about the best value, service, and pricing combined......

kinda like the ebay deals...get a helmet for $100...but somehow ground shipping is $100...wtf:grr:

I shipped a cdale motor 2nd day, and it only cost $40...tires are alot smaller and alot less weight.

The last full set of wheels and tires complete shipped, ground for under $30. anything more than that is rape.

I looked around and didn't find any better deals. I went ahead and ordered from rockymountainatv. Thanks for all the advice.
