Why doesn't RMATV have a "free" shipping option on certain small items?

You can do like I do. Order stuff you need, and if it doesn't get to the $75 free shipping, just keep adding tools that will come in handy when doing all of the work on your bike. Eventually, you will have all the tools you need.
Why keep buying oil filters when you can get a reusable one or two?

The saddest part of the entire story is that somebody pays for stickers.

Never have understood PAYING to put a a business' ad on something you own.

I always add oil, filters, chain lube, or whatever I will always need in the future to get my stuff over the $75. You are eventually going to need to change your oil. Might as well have some stored up.
I buy more than I need to get free shipping all the time. It’s like getting free produce instead of wasting it on shipping.

Trying to buy a few stickers with the $4 RMCASH i have and it wants triple what the sticker is worth for shipping? $7 shipping on a $2 sticker....YEAH RIGHT LOL. They need a free shipping option for small items such as stickers or even tools like a wrench or t handle. Was going to buy a tusk t handle as well but seeing as it would be more for the shipping than what the tool is worth, i could get it at lowes or an auto parts store today....
Why are you such a whiny little girl ? Unless Fedex,UPS or the USPS started a shipping is free option why would they not charge your sorry ass? Wink

What makes it even better is he’s using his RM Cash to buy the stickers. So he basically wants it all for free. lol

That made way too much Lindsay. Stop it!

Although, I will say $7 is outrageous. I ship a lot so I'd say they're making $4-$6 off shipping as well. Stickers cost about $3 to ship first class with tracking # or $.55 cents with standard stamp postage.

Now, if this thread was RM is fucking me with a $7 shipping cost instead of whining about them charging you something, it wouldn't come off as such a whiny bitch thread.

No, wait, it still would come off as a whiny bitch thread, but at least you'd have a leg to limp on.

If you ever decide to pull the trigger on those stickers, could you float a couple to my guy Patsy? He's got some wicked scratches on his forks.

Companies contract a shipping company and pay a flat rate for all items shipped no matter how large or small. Hence why a fender, some grips, a lever, and an engine plug kit costs $7 for shipping, and so does your $2 sticker. The shipping company is making the money off the idiots paying $7 to ship freakin stickers.

For real tho, youre bitching about $9. $9. Who the hell cares. Go work for 30 minuets you can earn $9. Jesus christ dude.

How much profit do you think they are making on a wrench or sticker to be able to give you "FREE STUFF" like shipping?

Everything in life is not free. I hope you come back to look at what you have written in a few years. The future you can see what the current "us" sees. WHAT A WHINY LITTLE BITCH!

The $7 isnt just the cost of shipping. They have to pay someone to walk to the sticker aisle. They have to pay for the actual package itself. The tape to seal it up. And then the shipping company has to use gas to pick it up from RMATVMC and then actually ship it out. All of these little things add up quick.

Telling a guy to "spend the money" when you're being a whiney bitch about $7 for shipping is a little ambivalent don't you think? Do your local dealer a favor and just get your oil and filters online as well...im willing to bet you complain a lot about buying that stuff also.

True, but it doesn't cost $7 to send a sticker surely

I always add oil, filters, chain lube, or whatever I will always need in the future to get my stuff over the $75. You are eventually going to need to change your oil. Might as well have some stored up.
I like to add stuff to my order that I think I will use, but never do, then I have a heap of old spare parts in my garage that I never use. Then I go and swap bike brands, and give all those irelivent parts to some guy at the track that has the same bike that I use to have 2 years ago.
But I got free shipping! Laughing

Lol true. But ,i doubt people are getting paid by using oem graphics. Contingency races maybe. Let people build bikes how they want. Their bikes their choice.
