Starting a new project YTH1542XP with a Kawasaki FH430V 2004 riding mower

I'm sure I'll be picking up better grade hardware. My next step is can I save on shipping cost by having the deck shell shipped through a local visa area dealer?

I doubt it. My Husqvarna parts distributor charges $250 freight since it is considered oversize and has to ship LTL.
