Pretty sure it doesn't. If you add up all the costs; what you paid for the heads, the price you'll pay to ship them to AI, the price AI charges to port them and then ship them back, you could have got some brand new TFS 220 heads, or bought a used set of AFR 205's or TFS 215's.

$104.00 to ship some heads! WTH!? I would want to see the quote before I paid him. Has to be padding the shipping cost. Or maybe he paid someone to walk them to you...if this is the case $104.00 isnt a bad price at all.

I shipped my heads to them and it was $50 insured through UPS. It really depends on how far you are shipping. To and from locations make the price vary. And you have to pay for return shipping as well. Nature of the beast unfortunately.

I just shiped some ls6 heads to ricky for 50 bucks. No, AIs price shouldnt include shipping if your talking the price on the webpage. Shipping will depend on things 01ss just talked about. Shipping sucks sometimes.

Should have been patient with Ebay. I won some 799's last week for $313, came out to $345 shipped ($32 shipping). They will be going to AI for the 226 CNC in a couple months after the rear is paid for.

Eh its ok I wanted some and got some. I don't need the absolute cheapest but don't have tons of money either. Ricky seems to be a good guy and I can't wait for the heads to get here...
