Default Crazy Shipping Cost!

I started to order 3 of these stainless steel eyebolts - until I saw the shipping cost to Canada. $36 to ship a 1 lb package worth $13.15. That's way too expensive!

I must be missing something here - 316 is not as strong as a high grade steel, it is more brittle, and is further away from aluminum on the galvanic table. Why dose everyone want these?

Exactly! Perhaps because when you bend down to look under the low RV wings, the tie down rings look cool?

I saved a boat load of money by switching to Geico.
