Save on Van's Shipping Costs

[gbrasch]

After I recently paid $24 in shipping for a small $25 item, I questioned Van's about the shipping. Long story short, ASK, when you place your order, for the items to be shipped the cheapest. In my case, I did a 3 day ship that went out UPS, but FedEx is almost always cheaper on 3 day, in my case by $10. The person who took the order specified UPS even though I didn't ask for them, and the shipping department will not question the order desk, even though they may know another company is cheaper....FYI.
