    I suppose there's an extra shipping charge in addition to the already "destination." charge.?
    Or does it ship straight to a dealer here instead of you first.

    Sometimes the dealer will arrange direct delivery, Amazon stylee and sometimes you pay for delivery from their lot.

    PS Go West was by the Village People and then covered a decade later by the Pet Shop Boys. The tune is popular as a base for soccer chants. I was just going to write Go East, but my brain insists on connecting words to song lyrics and then I felt like getting minimally creative.

    I don't want to speak for Dianne, but I am fairly certain there is an additional fee. That was how it worked for people who lived where the PiP was not released and bought through Dianne to have it sent to them.

    It gets shipped from me, here in CA, to TX. That can range from $675 to $750 - TX is a big state.
    I just went back and counted.. I sold 46 Prius models to TX last year ... (I sold almost 900 vehicles in the calender year 2012) .. so it's got to be about the pricing and definitely the shipping still didn't tap into the pricing difference enough to worry 46 others....
