    A guess here. A sign of the times. Prices are going up all over the place. Sometimes a dealer has to cover their costs by doing away with free amenities.

    I have not verified the facts on the Lamonster site as actual.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    What AR said. There is probably less push back from customers to losing free shipping than to price increases. It's also a quicker and easier way to raise the final the price to customers than to go through the process of repricing all individual items. Shipping costs can be highly variable percentage of final cost on per item basis. It costs less to ship a small higher priced item than to ship a larger and heavier item. And then when you factor in multiple items in one package the per item share really varies from one order to the next. So when it comes to calculating cost and profit on a specific item, free shipping really complicates the calculation.

    We bought 2 oil change kits from Lamonster, paid shipping on each kit , around $30. bucks total shipping. I know these kits are bulky and heavy, kind of spendy, but what isn't when it comes to these toys. Not all of their products are free shipping.

    With the cost of shipping something heavy these days, I don't know how anyone's giving free shipping anymore!! I was trying to get rid of a seat for a RTL, they wanted $174 to ship it out!!

    Oil change kits have always had a shipping charge due to being considered hazardous and requiring ground shipping only.
