Default Parts in Alaska

So I went to order some parts from IRO today, $97 in total, shipping was over $250!!! So I tried to order similar parts from 4WD, $150 in parts, $148 in shipping!!! I can't believe I'm gonna have to pay this much for parts. Is there a place to purchase after market parts for my XJ without being raped for shipping? Are there any shops in this area that don't have a huge mark up? I'm located in the Big Lake area, but travel to Anchorage daily. Also I'm in need of Cherokee 2dr interior parts, 1996 production year preferably.

My only idea is try to find some local 4x4 shops, or maybe keep an eye out for parts jeeps. Not much help but thats the sum of it. Shipping in Alaska is more expensive because there more land and cities are spread out more. But I bet you dont have to travel much to do some off roading.

Also; hate to be picky but this should be in chat, not really a tech question.

Yea IRO isn't to good on shipping prices. Looked at a 8" la an they told me 265 in shipping. That was the cheapest. I almost fell on the floor. They said I could have half off the shipping for being a forum member. Well gee thanks but your shipping was still 50 more than rough country with the discount an that's not including the discount you get for being a forum member with rough country. I don't even live in Alaska. That is to Mississippi. Insanity I tell u
