I ordered the roof rack from the web site that appears to be a "daughter" site of the dealership in WA. here is the link: https://www.1sthyundaiparts.com/prod...a87f8d657457ea

however, the 120 shipping price was for next day air, and i chose 16.95 ground shipping.

I dont think I will end up with the rack, and, in my opinion, Jerry figured the hype around this item, and trying to make up some money using outrageous shipping quotes. However, It is just an assumption, and I'll take my words back and apologize to him personally if im wrong

The website is bogus which is why I didn't post it. The reason I had all the detail on Jerry was because I noticed that they only had one cargo rack listed, and it didn't say which one it was. I looked at the website's contact info link and their phone number is listed as 800.XXX.XXXX, so I used their address in maps.google.com to identify their dealership affiliation, then called the number in the directory. The receptionist forwarded me to Jerry, and he said he didn't have a clue which model the website was referring to. He actually had to order both sizes from their warehouse and physically measure the racks when they came in on Wednesday to identify them. He priced out shipping via ground (5 days to VA) and came up with the $120 price quote. I paid a similar figure for shipping the Kilby skidplates from AZ, so I think he's probably not gouging. I'm sure the next day air option would be MUCH more expensive.

I bet when your website order gets to the parts department they're going to call to tell you the real shipping will be more.

That what I'm thinking is going to happen. At the same time, I havent used any ground shipping in a long time so I dont know even ballpark ideas on shipping charges, but if you are saying it sounds right, I'll hold off from the purchase. I could spend $100, but not two
