That Ain't Right?

Just went to powersportssuperstore.c and ordered a new front sprocket, yeah a 15t ,anyhow it was only $14 and change. No big deal. Said it qualified for free shipping, cool. Went to check out and got hit with another $9+ for shipping Called em up and they said I had to spend $75 for free shipping. Is this misleading or is it just me?

kicker is that they didn't say "free shipping" they said "qualifies for free shipping" which implies that you have to sacrific your first born, shave the dogs butt, then order ten trillion dollars worth of stuff. Amazon is the same way...

Yep. 'Qualifies for' is the confusing part. Some clearance items probably don't qualify towards the $75 free shipping total.

Frustrating. Often when I shop online, it turns out that the cost + shipping works out the same between low price and high shipping cost, or high price and free shipping.

Where is a good place to get stuff like this that is reasonable. What did it cost you guys for this sprocket?

^ If memory is accurate, the rear sprocket was $30 and the front around $15. Don't remember if shipping was extra or included.

Mine is a jtf270.5 from JT sprockets. I don't recall if I bought it from them directly, but I got it online for less than twenty bucks shipped. It's genuine steel of some sort, rather than the aluminum ones some sites sell.
