Default Excessive shipping or not?
I can't find a few bolts after putting my car back together and thought to go here. $24 bones after all the hooplah? Anyone know where else to go? That's the cheapest shipping option.

You're paying more on shipping than you are on a few nuts and bolts. That is highway robbery.

If the bolts are for anything relatively important or load bearing (experiencing any type of stress), never buy anything other than Honda OEM.

If they're rated for the same duty, why spend more?

"rated for the same duty" implies to me that you have no idea what you're talking about.

That's what I thought.

What I meant by rated for the same duty, I mean same hardness of the bolt and same weight limit of the bolt.
