Default $70 for a local pickup fee ????????

"shipping is 200 anywhere in the us"

"70 dollars if you wish to pick up locally item is located in Santa Ana"

Why in the hell would this seller charge $70 for a local pickup?

?? It says it's located in OK, but Santa Ana is here in Orange County. Maybe it's a fee for his distributor? Like a handling fee. Seems kinda steep, but that's probably what it is.

Exactly. $70 bucks to pull it out of stock and hand it to me? That's crazy IMO.

their cost for shipping is probably around $130 but they charge $200. so I guess if you were to pick up they lose out on $70 so they just pass that charge on to the "handling fee"
