    Which Parts Store has the cheapest Shipping for small item?

    Im in this crappy situation where i just ordered bulk from ecs, and actidentally damaged the diff seal during install. So i need a new one, but i dont want to pay $7 or $15 shipping for some.

    amazon prime with a part number, or go down to any local store and try and order it if they have it in a warehouse they will stock order it and not charge anything.

    bmw dealers can order stuff for free too. catch them this morning and it may be here early next week.

                ...or and indie shop. Usually cheaper than dealer, but can get stuff next day (or same day if they are like us) with WorldPac.

                  This. We have 2 suppliers and have up to 10 deliveries per day.

                  Also might want to email Blunt. He is very fair on shipping where those larger companies base shipping off a much larger box than needed.

                      If it is the gasket for the cover, skip the gasket and use RTV.

                        Or make your own, it is really easy. Either use gasket making material, or a cardboard cereal box can work in a pinch.

                        Set it over the diff, and hit a hammer gently around the edges. It should shape to the differential with minimal force. Clean it up with some scissors.
