Four Wheel Parts charges
 

I, yesterday, ordered some shims to adjust my pinion angle to hopefully rid
myself of this driveshaft vibration. When I talked to the sales guy on the
phone he told me the price would be 11.00 plus tax. When I got there today
it was something like 18.00 total.

Here's the break down.

10.99 for the shims
2.00 for a delivery fee (a local parts truck delivered the part to them)
3.50 for a Fuel Service Fee? (can't remember the term now but it's to cover
the fuel the truck used to deliver the part)

Sheesh. What the He77 is this?

So I protested the additional charges and so the sales guy took them off.
So I asked the guy, is this an Optional fee or what? He said it helps them
out so I guess they do this for every transaction and if you don't protest
you will pay.

In addition, when you make an order over the phone, they put half the sales
charge on your credit card. Then when you get to the store they charge the
remaining fee to your credit card so you get two receipts for one
transaction (I had this happen on another purchase).

This time I requested not to use my credit card to secure an order and they
agreed. Probably because of the small cost of the part.

Anyway, just wanted to let anyone else who might be doing business with them
know. Might help in their purchase.

I think we're going to see more and more of that as every
