I guess my reply from last night was conveniently overlooked as well...
I can sometimes offer special residential delivery options for customers in the Southeastern US and multiple items increase the chances for better residential rates, even if you're not in the Southeast. This generally pertains to attachments that ship from our NC location aka home base. I always try to help customers to the best of my ability and give them the best options for shipping. Customers beyond our free zone are continually telling me how reasonable our shipping is; quite frequently to the west coast.
Fortunately, it works for the majority. We are extremely grateful for the best year ever and some of the most appreciated and cared for customers out there.

I found the shipping policies to be clear and easy to understand.

While the grapple I ordered last week was one of the 1000 mile radius products, the extra shipping to get it to a freight terminal near me in California was reasonably priced. Inexpensive lift gate service to my house like some vendors offer would be great but it is hard to get drivers to actually come up to the house. We're way up a narrow mountain road. The last one would not attempt my driveway and he'd been sent with the "small" truck. He dropped my pallet forks at the gate and I took the tractor down to get them. But now I have pallet forks so I can unload the grapple off my truck.

"best options for shipping"?
$75 extra for delivery by common carrier, with same truck, out with various other deliveries, from same shipping terminal 85 miles away.
$125 extra for lift gate (required for home delivery), even though I could unload with my tractor loader.
Total of $200 EXTRA for EA "FREE SHIPPING" well inside 1000 mile EA "FREE SHIPPING" area?

From the tone of your post, I also assume that you opt to accurately advertise your business products, and their delivery costs.
THAT is an EXCELLENT business practice!

Some of my products include delivery on my trucks to the customer location. Others do not and is billed separately. I have inbound freight cost as well on all of my products and raw materials. I have to cover that cost in the price I set for a given product. The problem I run into is trying to cover that cost, to an unknown location, in order to set an advertised price. If I offer free shipping, I have to figure that cost high in order to cover my expenses. It is just a part of business.

If you truly do not understand it better than you're projecting, please give me a call. 828-464-1200.
I don't care if you want to buy anything or not. I think the conversation would be entertaining at least.

I'd still like to hear your "definition" of how you think someone else should make that 170 mile round trip for you. You say there is nothing free about taking a day to make the trip, yet you expect someone else to do it. I don't think anyone ships to every geographic location within the confines of the "Continental US". There are places that are simply too far out of the way to accommodate even if they are within the geographic borders.

"Uninformed usage"???
Really ???
Tow vehicle is a pristine, 20 year old K2500 4x4 Suburban, with 454 V-8 in a hilly area, often in very slow traffic.
Your suggestions please, on how I might become better ....informed?
Perhaps your suggestion will be that I buy a new $75,000 vehicle for the 2000 miles per year that I use it (I ONLY use it for towing).
Now THAT would REALLY be "uniformed usage of resources".
Thank you for the carefully crafted INSULT !!!

You're griping about 9mpg when you only drive 2000 miles a year? That's hilarious. My 97 454 k3500 would get 5mpg pulling my stock trailer. I didn't gripe. When the mpg issue became a concern, I got a more modern truck. Now I have an $80k truck that gets driven 12k a year and maybe does 10 mpg loaded and 14 unloaded. Still not griping about having to go to the freight terminal to get my ea stuff
