wtf... shipping is expensive...
$21.57 to ship [2] valve covers that came out to weigh 15.90lbs via FedEx Ground!? I've shipped turbos for less than that!
What are the cheap shipping alternatives... I shipped FedEx cause USPS is usually too much, but for $21.57 I might as well have shipped USPS.
I miss DHL...

Depends on location but from coast to coast fedex usually takes 6 business days+the weekend. Flat rate boxes are the saving grace of online sales

This is why you get a fedex account and drop off during busy hours. 90 percent of the time they wont throw it on the scale since their so busy. Has long has you keep it within reason say thrown 12 pounds on that package it will go through at that weight and you save a couple bucks. Fedex knows this they dont care online accounts make them so much damn money.
