This link?

http://5united.org/

Works fine for me. They did go through a reorganization this year and got an email from the website manager of the change.

What does shipping end up being for MotoBins?

I just spec'd an order at motobins and Hucky's. Hucky's is $15 more. $75 vs $90 with shipping not calculated yet.

I got all the way to entering credit card info and Motobins still doesn't seem to have stated the shipping charge.

Motonbins is expecting you to put the order through and pay for it using the checkout. Consider it an authorization only as they will email the exact shipping charge and ask you whether you want to proceed with the order or cancel (e.g. you don't like the shipping cost). There is no risk, they will not charge your card unless you authorized the shipping cost. It takes them a day or two to get you the shipping charge. They are very reliable and quality of service is excellent.

Not associated with them whatsoever just a happy customer.

Motobins are my "go to" parts guys, but, of course I'm in Australia...

I've used Hucky too and he's prolly one of the best for /5 bits, but you have to send him the order money via Western Union, which is expensive (and a PITA). At least he was happy to send it down here...

Oh yeah, that reminds me: this thread was primarily about shipping (times/costs) to the US... well, can't comment on that, of course. Just gotta say that m'bins have been most excellent for me (gladly spent many $100s with 'em). My local alternatives usually add (at least) 25-50% more in cost per part, and even with the shipping costs included the total is still way lower.

Nothing but positive recommendations from me re the 'bins...

(I always make a substantial order to justify the shipping, so I've got a good supply of parts on hand - so now no excuses for fixing that dodgy rubber bit etc...)

Motorworks now ships to NA. That changed earlier this year I believe. Similar pricing and service as good as M'bins.
