Aftermarket Hood Insulation / Soundproof Mat installed

[TyRoosevelt]

I ran into that whacky shipping charge when I was looking for a cargo mat. called the place and they said it was a big box or something to that effect.
I checked around and I believe parts.elmhursttoyota.com got it to me for 20% off and $30 shipping. Box was similar to the one in the video.
That freight was IL to MA.

I went with Toyota of Nucar which has 50 percent off shipping right now. $348 total. Was only $40 more than the cheapest dealer I found for pick up within 400 miles. The shipping is outrageous if you try to go through Toyota even with their Black Friday deal. Toyota of Nucar was $11 for shipping and I am completely on the other side of the US from their dealership.

I tried Nucar. My order went through, but was cancelled a couple days later. Here’s what the email from them said.

I will reach out to them and ask. Sometimes it is location based when dealerships cancel orders. I will report back what I find out. Many companies now have insurance options for a small fee so it’s strange they wouldn’t take advantage of that. Thanks for letting me know though.

I was told they would ship it but I had the order cancelled because the hood insulator is on national backorder.

FWIW, the dealer here got it in 2 days.
