Default Rusty's Shipping

So last night I decided to order all new components for building my bastard pack. 4 new ubolts, 2 centering pins, and 4 spring clamps..... My total was ~$42 then after, I selected UPS GROUND shipping and my total went to $78!!!! $36 dollars to ship THAT! Am I the only one that's blown away by their shipping?

Yea, Rusty's has some good stuff but their shipping prices suck, that is why I look at all other options possible before ordering from them.
I don't mind paying for aftermarket parts, but Rusty's shipping is so much more than what everyone else charges they have to be over charging. ( as in making money on the shipping )

Call and order over the phone. When doing it over the internet the computer software does a specific shipping charge. Calling and talking to someone will make it cheaper...

Well, then that's one of the stupidest business plans I've ever heard of, advertize extremely high shipping rates on the website, and say nothing on the site about calling for better rates. Stupid!
I just spent over $4000 and didn't even look at Rusty's because of their shipping rates. Maybe I would have if they had better rates posted, or at least state that better rates maybe available with a phone call.
