    ECS has shipping options!

    Finally!
    They always had a great a selection of products and very transparent availability info. Now you can pay for faster shipping as well.
    I wish they had it when I was rebuilding my engine, would have bought more stuff from them.
    Anyway, great improvement!

    Unfortunately their shipping system ins't great for those outside USA and their rates a ridiculous so my last order is on its way from Pelican Parts because of their freight charges. But a good company nonetheless

    Yeah I hate that living in Canada everything I order is first off NOT FREE SHIPPING as the sites say, and secondly shipping is almost always more expensive than the part.

    You need proprietary plastic clips? 50 for $3.. plus $74 shipping, then $25 fees to collect it. I see all of these things on eBay and the like, "$30 free shipping" you click it, and it's $30 + $40 shipping + $30 import fees yadda yadda, AND it still takes 2 weeks.

    ECS has the highest priced shipping out of all of the sites. I hate that I can get a large box delivered for FREE from China, but an ENVELOPE from someone in the states are at insane prices.

    I always end up shopping around the different suppliers, some times ECS's deals cancel out their shipping rates and win over other sites - I have $800 orders from ECS, $170 of which is shipping, yet still cheaper than if I bought the parts from other places.

    I have the feeling that you made that back on your healthcare bills though

    I haven't been impressed lately. My last order took them three days just to ship it. Then they used smartpost for another three days to get it to me.
    I live in Michigan so I used to order parts and get them next day UPS ground. Not any more.
