In an age when companies like Amazon.com can deliver car parts in two days without any shipping charges, and in some markets the same day, your question seems almost peculiar.

Precisely!

Truth be told... Pelican's current pricing model already seems dialed in to the 'premium' category where customer expectations are heightened

Waiting 4-5 days is not an option. I order Joe Gibbs DT40 cases from Summit by noon & it's on my front porch by 9am the next morning, no extra charge.

Pelican has been great for fast & reasonable shipping, & I usually buy additional parts to meet the previous $75 minimum for free shipping. Since the minimum total has doubled I have had to find other options.

No vote. Local or Amazon, two days max, no freight. Amazon, usually a cheaper purchase price and incredible return policy.
The world is changing, absorb the costs or be left behind.
