I've met the president of ScanGauge at SEMA about a month ago. The fact that 
the price includes shipping has more to do with them trying to keep things 
simple for themselves, rather than trying to please customers. While trying 
to keep things simple is a worthy endeavor, a lot of times it's done at the 
expense of flexibility.
