I am sorry, but complaining about shipping for heli items is kind of a waste of time IMPO. I to am one that makes my orders for over $100.00 so I dont even pay for the shipping. If I don't have to pay for it, I dont complain about it. I am sure it can be had quicker for a price. Call them and ask. I am betting that they will offer you the premium shipping, at a premium price. But then this thread would read "Why does 2-3 day shipping cost so much from HeliProz"? And by the by. None of the sites mentioned, that do use priority shipping, does so for free. So I think it is a mute point. I have had nothing but great results from useing HeliProz. And will continue to use them, and their slow, free shipping. Just my thoughts on the situation.
