Why is the freight on my oil filter more than the part?

As a wholesale auto parts company, our pricing has very little markup included. As a result we need to charge the actual shipping costs up until a certain level, where we can ship and also pay freight. Most people attempt to add additional needed wholesale items until they get to the free freight level (oil filters, air filters, wiper blades, etc.). At $75 most of our coupon codes are activated (check on Facebook for current codes) and free ground freight is included. Volume purchases or high dollar items make the most sense...

For single low dollar items we won't always be the best option. If however you are able to buy just a little more, the savings become substantial. Autopartstomorrow.com .
