Thanks guys. It was nice to see this thread:

I would've added this comment there, but that thread is closed for some reason.
Ron, you see like a pretty good guy, for the simple fact that you didn't lose your cool. For that, you have my respect.
Brent, I did speak with Finish Line, and when no solution was offered, I brought it to the forum as a "buyer beware". By the way, this was not my first purchase; I had never noticed that they were discretely tacking on unreasonable shipping costs after-the-fact. I definitely hope this feedback will encourage them to update their checkout process.
I've been following this forum since it's inception years ago and have received a lot of valuable information. For that, I'm very thankful. I recently chose to join to help my local Cobra owner's with some questions they had with Colorado title/registration (feel free to review my previous posts). It's concerning that the word "newbie" and "new" has come up from those in authority. That's a wrong assumption and seems to serve no purpose other than to discredit the person. Nobody's perfect, but it's my hope that moderator's (on any site) will be the example they wish to see from their members.
Happy cruisin,
Doug
