Lee, I can't say if Darrell Waltrip has changed their shipping policy; this is the first time that I've contacted them and the guy didn't hesitate about out-of-state shipping, but I suppose that could be a special case for very small items like keys.

By the way, no reason to shelter the guilty: $66 is the price at McKevitt Volvo of Berkeley.


When I bought the car two years ago, it only came with the valet key. Went to the dealer with it and they cut two new masters based on the valet key. They didn't ask me for anything else. Couldn't believe they were only $7.

I just ordered a replacement key for my 1994 850 from Hendrick Volvo of Kansas City for only $8.95 plus $3.50 shipping. I emailed them a copy of the title and my driver's license, called them with my credit card number...

Sure beats the $125 my local Volvo dealer wanted! It pays to do some research. Just wanted to share with all of you.

Agreed. You don't even need to think about looking anywhere else!
