Unless you see where Mancini specifies a free shipping deal, you gotta expect to pay for it. They probably don't do 5% of the business that Summit or Jeg's do and simply wouldn't have the leverage w/ the big shipping companies to get big enough discounts to be able to cover the ride.

As far as botching up the order... that's a different issue. I don't recall having issues like that w/ Mancini, but there were a few orders I received from COMP Cams where there was always something wrong... like ONE wrong retainer out of a set of 16. That sh!t drives me crazy.
