Default Shin-Etsu

Anyone have a recommendation on where to purchase some Shin-Etsu grease? I saw it on Hardtopguy for $15 a tube, and then an extra $10+ for shipping. Any other places to get it online? What about a regular store?

Also, how much should it be and are there any other products out there that do the same thing? Will any generic silicone grease work just as well?

$10 for shipping is a total rip off for a little tube of grease.

Yeah - that's what I thought! It actually defaults to a higher shipping for $14, but you can change it to ground for $10.

$11.89 for a tube +$6.99 shipping (to me at 22032)

This was also stated on their website which I found interesting if Hardtopguy was charging you $14 shipping when he could only send it ground in the first place.

*Due to shipping regulations grease can only be ordered and shipped via ground shipping (NOT 3-day, 2nd day or Next day) and cannot be shipped to Hawaii or Alaska.

at you all. You want one tube of Shin-Etsu- go to the local Honda dealership. And for shipping a tube of "grease," I think one would be fine overnighting it.

Against shipping regulations. You wouldn't be telling us to break the law would you?

Whatever. I think it's silly to buy a single item such as Shin-Etsu via the 'net. Jeff's a very good friend of mine, and he'd say the same thing.

Thanks - tried that before looking online. My Honda dealership (Heritage on York in Towson) doesn't have any and didn't know how long it would be to get a tube since "they don't work on many S2000s." Thus the reason why I looked online.
