I know for a fact that these are less than $4 to ship - AS 2nd DAY MAIL It's not just your imagination... Your day really does go by twice as fast while on EverythingCelica.com

Otherwise the seller would not make any profit from his items.

I did mailed them about shipping to Sweden. Answer: "Thanks for your email the shipping and handling fee (2 oil caps airmail to UK) is $47.50" Sweden! Not UK I will never pay that shipping for 2 stupid oil caps. What a rip off That is what 2 APR was shipped from Ecelica to me. Last edited by Spread Eagle; Dec 17, 2003 7:46am.

Get someone to buy you a couple in the states, and then have them ship it to you. Some guy tried to charge me $83US shipping and handling for a product that cost $65US. I told him to stick his head up his ass and look for change. What an idiot. Rob
