I didnt realize Marco sold anything that cheap, maybe it is throwing their system off. What are you ordering that is worth $10 shipping for a 4 dollar part?

Happens to me regularly on Marco's site as well. Has nothing to do with purchase size.

use a different browser then IE maybe?

Yeah, happens to me too...just switch browsers and give it another go. Heck, the same happens at Amazon too at times...

Marco's site can be goofy. When I save my cart it doubles all the quantities when I log back in. They have a nice site though.

I really like Marco's but because of the problem with loading the cart I have sometimes given up
and ordered from a different store. Quite frustrating after picking out stuff for half an hour.
B.t.w. this happened with Firefox and Safari. It's not just an Internet explorer thing.

I don't even try to process the order online anymore. It never works for me. It's a nice site so I fill up my cart and call with part #'s and place my order. I usually have a question for them anyways so no big deal. I never get left on hold and there helpful. It's a little extra $ but it's fast and Worth it.

bahahahaahha hiiiiilarious! I'm glad I hadn't made my coffee before reading that.

Sometimes I can't log in. I have to return a couple hours later and try again. Glad it's not just me.

I got stuff from Pinball Life, Marco, and Cointaker sitting on my kitchen counter. It's going to be a fun Sunday!

Have you tried clearing your browser cache? Sounds like they might have some caching issues with their site.

I had the same issue ordering my Marco parts this weekend. I noticed you have to look in the lower left hand side of your browser...you can see it's trying to load a store applet. Once the finishes loading ie. the text is gone, then I place items in the cart. Have to do it for every item. It is a very slow and frustrating site. The payment process took at least 5 minutes to load and finish. That's just nuts in this day and age. They are obviously using some back end processor to fulfill their online ordering and it's not a very good one.

It just takes a long time for their server to calculate shipping costs that high.

I have never had a problem with their site or shipping.
