UPS and Fedex only make about $23000.00/load hauled from La to NY. My Class 8 made $7500 for the same trip w/48000 lb. Say that's not over charging!
Is that total revenue, or profit?

Some dealers can get items shipped from the factory with the transport guy delivering an RV. Had that done with a couple of 8' pieces of 1x2 and some cabinet doors (to match the finish in our TT). Saved a lot compared to what a courier would have cost. The dealer could be getting free shipping and still charging the $60.
Do some checking around on the internet from fender skirt vendors. RV Parts Nation shipping cost for ex. would be $13 for USPS ground and $16 for UPS ground for a pair of fender skirts to our mailbox in WA. Could go to usps.com or ups.com and get a quote for an estimated size & weight.

Many thanks for all the good suggestions. The beauty of it was the parts just arrived and were correct so it wasn't all bad. I just installed the plastic skirt and it fit fine. I just hate a rip off. Now I'm ready to hit the road once again.
The bad taste in my mouth did discourage me from buying another RV. I thought I was ready for a new travel trailer but dealing with dealers is not fun. I'll get buy with my old one.
Refer back to my post; you were not "necessarily" ripped off. Large items like fenders go by "dimensional weight" as I described. Few people understand dimensional weight and wonder why a 5 lb item cost $60 to ship. The reason is "dimensionally" UPS charges $60 for that big box you just received!
Now, I'm not saying the box did not cost the shipper $45 in actually UPS shipping and they charged you $60, but that is a discussion for another day........
