If I could solve a problem for $70 I would be thrilled. How about $45 for 1 hour of basketball "tutoring" once or twice a week for 3 years. How about a math tutor for $70 per hour....... Cant be stupid says the wife, never get into Penn State.......... Your pain is manageable. Mine is chronic. Good luck.
Whyyyyyy is everything such a secret?

It's called "free trade".
Manufacturing is now dead and we are only a warehouse nation and raw materials exporter. Labour is by Temporary Foreign Workers. Profits get sent south of the border.

At least Amazon has a good "return policy"......Sure wish our "Selections" had the same "return policy"......
That sounds similar to the lower 48 except we give foreign workers citizenship and benefits. Meanwhile we argue over Roe vs Wade as the best way for foreigners to cross the Rio Grande with their merchandise.
Be aware!!!I’ve been looking online for longer than I’d like to admit to just find the SIZE of the deck replacement belt I need to buy for my Z122r zero turn. I don’t want to pay 70 bucks plus shipping and I need it faster than most websites can provide. Please what is the belt size so I can just use Amazonwhy isn’t this information just opening listed on the Kubota site.
The belts on my Kubota are METRIC..... sure there are sorta/kinda equivalent length/width in inch-size... and I have tried them cuz they are cheep.
In some cases the inch-size belts work. For me NOPE If I did not use METRIC belts (a matched pair) they would shred within two mowings.

Not a bad idea! Order our politicians from Amazon and return them if not satisfied!
Then there would be those folks who buy Amazon's returned goods and they wold be trying to sell those politicians off as "workers". No such thing with a politician.

Amazon would have to add another line to their "why are you returning items" list
Line #8 would have to read......
Item is corrupt and does not work.
While I haven't been especially pleased with the local Kubota dealer, I am willing to buy the maintenance products from them in the event that I may need them someday! The shipping for SuperUDT, etc., would be ridiculous. I also buy from Messick's because I know that the Kubota product will be the right one and I don't have to worry about returning/re-ordering. They also provide a great service with their diagrams and even with the tech support by phone. My pennies are precious but this Kubota tractor needs to keep working as it should. OEM makes sense to me...either local Kubota dealer or online Kubota dealer. No charge for the 2-cents' worth!

When you buy from dealer you are partially paying for their parts dept to keep everything organized and know exactly what you need. When you buy on Amazon, you become the parts dept and must do all of that yourself. You are also keeping the dealer in business so when you need another machine or part they are there to provide it.

Agree. While I usually check online with Messick’s, Coleman, etc. by the time I add shipping and compare bottom line cost to bottom line cost from my local dealer so long as the local dealer is competitive, I’m supporting my local dealer. Thus far, my local dealer has been competitive (within a few dollars +/-) every time. Nothing against in-line but if I can spend my money locally and help a little to keep my dealer’s doors open, that has some value to me.

Could not even do close to that, as the crow flies.
Don't know what map you are using Rusty........but you need a new one.
It is 42+ miles just for me to get to Cape Cod canal (Sagamore) bridge, and then Norfolk Power ( in Carver ) is 24+ miles additional!
I almost think I could do the route blindfolded!

I used your zipcode and put that into the dealer locater. The locator doesn't give driving instructions. I just looked at a map of Ca[e Cpd. and you are correct. you can't get there unless you own a seaplane.
Read the fine print...only fulfilled by amazon products have easy free returns. All the other ones will cost you to return them.
