Discount code raises already-insane shipping costs?

Hey, I have no hand in the pot. I've bought from Year One since way back when you had to fax in your order in the '80's. Kevin being the majority shareholder makes him the " holder" of any rights as a business position in my books. I actually helped him perfect the correct reproduction oval filter for Ramcharger / Airgrabber hoods in 2017 from OE's I have in hand and for such help actually got ONE free filter. Do I buy anything from them in todays market, not a chance...

I feel like I do, since I was there back when the phone-sales room held 50+ people for two shifts and a couple of guys doing weekday overnights. The phone system would go into overload from 7:30AM until about 2PM on Mondays; customers might be in the queue for 20 minutes or more. I'd walk past a pallet-box of Shaker bubbles (the first-offering ones that were better than no Shaker) and racks of AAR/A12 hoods en route to my desk. It was awesome.
It bothers me to see them making the same mistakes and denials over and over, slowly destroying a company at which I was once proud to work. Call me bitter.
