    There's a class action lawsuit against harbor freight if anyone is interested.

    My Kings and flip was just a tad over $800 iirc. So yes Billie's are cheaper.

    Does anyone actually look at the bs prices they claim as compare at or save 90%off an obviously inflated price? A other frivolous lawsuit imo

    No, that had nothing to do with Wheelers and I have actually never had an issue with them. I ordered from Toytec and it sounds like the issue is more with Icon and not Toytec. Hopefully I will have them soon or at least before summer.:turtleride:

    Toytec.

    You would think this type of thing would be really easy. I mean all the big companies have it figured out. Somehow, no matter what combination of products you purchase, Amazon (or insert your favorite online vendor) knows exactly the size box all of those items will neatly stack into and gets you a cheap, instant quote for shipping. In real life, this is an extremely big pain in the ass. The wider the variety of products you offer, the harder it gets. It continues getting more complicated when you offer items that need to ship through very specific channels (i.e. sliders going freight). Even as small as @Mobtown Offroad is we have items that only go FedEx Express, others that can only go ground and others that ship via LTL freight. When a customer wants to order an item from each of those shipping categories together, it becomes a website programming problem that is beyond our ability to process. Sure, we could spend thousands of dollars fixing this, but we don't have the money to invest in it (trust me, we would if we could...it creates a lot of extra work and is a pain). There are ways around it, but none are ideal. Usually, it would involve either overcharging or undercharging on shipping. Anyway, I'm not here to defend Wheeler's, just adding some insight into how big of a pain in the ass shipping logistics is. It's probably the single thing we struggle with the most. We are thinking of switching to a system similar to Wheeler's for freight items. The prices fluctuate too much between when a customer places an order and when we are able to ship it. After 8 weeks, the price for shipping is often no what we quote. Frequently, we lose money on freight shipments.

    100% agree. I don't understand how lawsuits like this are allowed.

    They're suing because they advertise a compare at price, but never sell at that price. Instead they sell for way cheaper. Wtf did they do wrong?

    I sold 3 things last week and had to get shipping quotes and flat rate boxes and that was a pain in the ass. I couldn't imagine running a business that does that all day everyday.

    Precisely why I only have two sizes of boxes to ship stuff. But then again, I don't offer the variety of products that you do. ;)

    So I have a wobble going past 60mph. Steering wheel starts shaking big time. I know I need an alignment very soon, could this be causing the shaking? Any thoughts

    No ice or snow stuck in them right?

    Otherwise balance or alignment might cause it, maybe a bad tierod
