Corporate Shipping on a New Kubota

[AKKubota]

I'm going to get a BX and I need to figure my haggle strategy.

Does anyone know how Kubota chages shipping on it's new models? I've heard that the car manufactures, for example, average the total cost of shipping (nationwide) and charge a flat fee. In Alaska the car dealers always try to tack on 2-3K for premium (shipping), which we're usaully able to haggle off.

List price for BX-24 is ~17.6K here.

for the most part we don't pay shipping on our equipment if we plan our inventory well. If its not planned well, and you have to order piece by piece than you do pay - however it varies by location.

You might get a deal since Alaska is closer to Japan by sea than those us in the midwest, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

I would hope the dealer would just include it as part of regular order for stock rather than charging you extra for a "special order" or something.
