When I was buy parts for my oil cooler repair and OE trailer hitch most of the time shipping was a flat $35. No matter if it was a single part or multiple parts. I also was a bit disappointed that not more parts for a certain area were limited and had to go somewhere else to find the seal number I needed. There are many dealerships that have web part purchase venues and purchase price does vary between dealerships. Some of my part purchases came from a Mercedes dealer in Akron, Ohio, they actually called for clarification on a superseded part.

The shipping from the online places usually ends up being too much.
