Has anyone taken advantage of this promotion using the Indian website and noticed the exorbitant shipping rates? I ordered $500 of accessories and clothing and was charged $40 shipping. So much for promotional savings.
The package was 6.7lbs and they shipped UPS Surepost which added 3 days to transit time, UPS ground is 1 day. Looking up published rates, UPS ground is $12.28 and UPS Surepost is $12.72, UPS 2 day air is $26.72. All shippers like Polaris/Indian receive major discounts off published rates from UPS . Seems like gouging customers on shipping.
I rarely complain but this hit a nerve. They will ship free to a dealer but that does not help much if the dealer is 80 miles away or closed.
