Maybe they should charge $8 for the pin and 75 cents to ship it to you.
So, back when every order shipped free ... what ... nobody was getting paid to pull and package them? We all know better ... that was figured in as part of the item's cost. So now, they make money at both ends. That is still a part of the cost, and they jack up the S&H charges as just another way to increase profits.
That's my thought as well. Just be truthful in your pricing and charge shipping based on what it cost. If you want to add all the "backdoor" pricing into the order, do it on the front end and let the consumer make the choice.
At that price I would order a couple extra pins, too.
Ahhh, Capitalism...
We've probably all paid a crazy price at one time or another for the tiny and easy to lose firearm springs, pins and screws. Calling all of the shops in OKC doesn't always help, so a trick is to surf the online sources and find whatever else you need- mags, spare parts, odd ball little widgets for shooting or reloading or whatever to make the threshold and avoid the surcharge. Still, it sucks to have a gun or press sidelined because of a $0.99 spring.

kinda hard to pay a guy out of $1.98,how much do you get paid to do your job?
I keep a short list of stuff I need and about once a year I order what I need with what I "want".
spares come in handy esp if you shoot certain guns... frame screws for SAA revolvers, springs,,,stuff like that ..extra pins.. plan ahead. If your working on guns much you will end up with some stuff.

so who pays for the 90 parts that dont get pulled while he takes a 15 min break
Didn't free shipping end about the time fuel prices went from around $1/gal to where those fuel prices sit today?
