Yes, OmegaBowler you are right it would probably only cost them a 1.00 -1.50 to ship them from a semi, if it is instate or depending on how far they are being transported it shouldn't cost more than 2.00 - 3.00. I can send a instate pallet up to 500lbs for 50.00 were I work. Out of state is a little more. That shipping cost is not enough for them to charge what they do for their bowling balls. That is just my opinion though, I have never been a fan of Lane #1.
