I'm not trying to insult anyone I just want to know if I should get it shipped cheap to my bro in cali then he can break it down into little flat rate boxes that cost 9 bucks a pop. All I would like to know is about how much this stuff weighs to see what would be cheaper. sorry if I offened anyone.

I dont think you offended anyone (except the one that responded to you) and I totally understand where you are coming from but IMO 262 dollars is about right for shipping to HI. If you can get it to Cali first and shipped individually that might save you some dollars! Thanks for the explanation as to what you were thinking to keep shipping down. Probably would not have gotten that comment if that was included in the original post..... but who knows

you might want to see if they can ship freight, some places will ship freight, others won't. i also live in HI and shipping is a SOB here. just like everything else here in HI, you pay to live in paradise. where do you live in HI?

Brian Zinchuck, i see you are interested in a SC, if you think the shipping on the brakes are bad, just wait untill you order the SC!
the shipping on my headers was over 200 too.

Don't you think that you are the one being unreasonable in any way... especially after they are just doing their job? Keep in mind it's just as easy to ask "How much is it to ship 4 brake rotors and a Pro-kit to hawaii from XY", i'm not saying that's right or wrong but it could get more replies than being mean, and forward in what you're saying. Dealing with assumptions is a bit of a waste of time for forumers and such especially when they are obviously false but asking questions works all the time.

I just got the shipping information on four rotors that I ordered last night, they weigh 67 lbs.

just wait till they build that bridge to HI.. it'll be cheap then


And yes.. Nobody should be offended by your comment there.. someone needs to settle down a bit.. it is called imperformance afterall.. sounds alot like imperfect to me [8D]

yes.. ships still go to hawaii so it is possible to send it a way other than air.. I lived there briefly.. Remember.. if you guys have a shipping strike stock up on TP!

and 262 doesn't sound too ridicilous considering how much it weighs, but if you can get it shipped for cheaper and don't mind waiting would be awesome if you could cut it in half on cost.
