Default The New Valve Stems Have Been Ordered...

So I just placed the order but everything is automated and the reply was that the order is placed, then I am going to be sent an automated email to confirm my order and it is at that time that I'm given a complete price including shipping and handling. The message said it could take up to two days to process. Thanks for all your help! In any case, it looks like we will get them cheaper here than anywhere else. I talked to Tire Rack and the price is $6/ea plus shipping and they're only 1.5" long, you would have to pay an additional $2 for an extension. That would make a set cost at least $32 plus shipping. I'll keep you updated and post the information as it comes in.

Default Newest Update...

Ok, the Valve Stems are on the way. I finally got information on the total including shipping to me. Prestige really hits hard with the S&H. (I think it was ridiculous!) The total was $70.39 including a small order fee because the order was less than $50. That will really make a noticeable difference in the total but it's still less than any place else I could find. PayPal fees will be an additional 3.5% of the total price. The cost breakdown will be as follows...


Carnal had 8 Valve Stems @ 2.97 = $23.76 + $5.90 + $7.25 = $36.91

Taeng had 4 Valve Stems @ 2.07 = $8.28 + $5.90 + $6.00 = $20.18

Chigger had 4 Valve Stems @ 2.07 = $8.28 + $5.90 + $6.00 = $20.18

I also had 4 Valve Stems @ 2.07 = $8.28 + $5.90 + $6.00 = $20.18
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Total before S&H $46.80

Prestige S&H $23.59 (add $5.90 each for S&H)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Initial Order Cost $70.39

I'm certain I can ship these Valve Stems to you for about $6 including PayPal fees, the box, and the packaging materials. (A little more for you Carnal because the fees will be significantly higher on PayPal) Let me know if any of you have any problems with the final price. I will send each one of you a PayPal request as soon as I hear from you. You can PM me if you prefer. Thanks for all your help guys.

Yea, that shipping is ridiculous. I called and asked them about it and it turns out they charged a $10 small order fee even though their policy is to just charge the difference between the order and $50 which should have only been about $2.20 - too late to cry about it now, they got my info and billed my credit card already. It's still cheaper than any other place I have been able to find so far. Thanks for all the help guys. I will post an additional update when I have received them and shipped them to you.

Default Valve Stems Shipped!

Ok guys, the valve stems came in Friday afterall... the items have been shipped to your verified PayPal address. I sent them via US Postal Service. You should get them in by Wednesday. Not sure about the longer ones, but the shorter ones were perfect. I haven't put them on, but I compared them to the old one that was on the wheels. Thanks to all for pitching in....
