Mike - I agree with you
I have purchased several parts from Mirek and have always been very satisfied with both the quality and the cost which is only a fraction of what an original part would cost - assuming you could find one. As far as shipping goes, it is expensive to ship out of the country. Shipping a 4 pound 1 ounce package from the US to Canada costs a minimum of $27.00 via USPS and it doesn't take much to weigh 4 pounds. I certainly hope that suppliers like Mirek continue their valuable contribution to our hobby.

Whoa,
Many people that make parts come and go. Good quality reproduction parts can turn a machine useful and displayable until an original part can be found if 
at all.
I take a different view, I'm very thankful all these people do what they do and I doubt they are getting rich and perhaps in many cases just covering 
cost.
Regardless of shipping cost or attitude I appreciate having the option. 

He is after all making parts for a very limited production run.

Now if you pay a parts supplier and don't get your parts that is a
conversation to have.

Agreed. I charge exact shipping and I usually have boxes onhand. If I have to buy new boxes I might charge $1 or so. Sometimes you have to pay the cost 
of doing business as a courtesy. I have found that it builds repeat
customers.

Folks who deliberately try to stuff their pockets with your money by
deliberately inflating the shipping costs on an item, are nothing short of 
despicable . That is a fact !!

Unless one knows the weight of the packed shipment, a buyer can't really tell if the shipper is off the mark with his shipping costs, and I believe he Marek in Canada, right? Shipping from Canada is always more expensive in my experience. If you want an inflated price for shipping try the $10 I was charged to ship 0.1 pounds (less than two ounces) of repro car parts from 
PA
to MA. They use UPS. The post office would have cost under $2.00 I'll
bet.
