I did the same thing only to waist $60.00 in gas after he sold me the wrong parts also. Just take them back for a refund.

technically shipping is cheaper isnt it?

should be around $20-25 to ship that thing

I shipped a joystick was only $24 and a joystick cant be much heavier than that

The problem with the pipe, it's not made for my 01 civic.

if i put the pipe properly, then i can't close the hood .

it's there fault! they have to pay for the shipping i think

it's always best with aftermarket parts to go to the companie's web site and get the correct part number

Yeh $5 there, $5 back so a 2 hour round trip cost me $10 on 87 ctane at around 75 cents a litre.

I know ive done the calc before.

Nope....cheaper.

ie.....to ship the R1 coilover kit here, was told it would be around $10 - $15.....and the coilovers are waaaaaaaaaaaaay heavier than that intake. It's a flat rate courier company that they use.... I beleive.

The next time I need to get something, and I don't feel like going out there, I'll just give the cash to somebody that IS going there.......or.....I'll get it shipped here. I can wait a few days.

Now, if I was heading down to the falls to spend the day with the Misses, I would stop by....pick it up.....then continue on my way to the falls.

I just don't have to time to go down......but if the weather keeps up the way it has been, I might be up for a cruise.
