How much do shops markup replacement parts?

Words to live by. My education and Tools are expensive.

Shit yeah particularly the tools bought off a truck lol! BTW, your educated??

If I have to close my doors to go pick up a specialized part for a car that I am restoring and loose 2 hrs of work time($100) shouldn't I charge extra for the part? Not to mention the fuel I burn to get there and back.
If it's something common like a ball joint that can be delivered to my shop I don't mark it up most of the time, but I'm not a mechanic shop thats bread n butter is that kind of thing. If I was I would.
btw, the shops in Rockwall are at $92.50per hr.

Just had some front end work done to the 1997 Ford F150.

I was shocked that they charged me $70.12 for a lower ball joint, when the same part from VatoZone is $30.99.

They charged me $89.96 each for KYB shocks when I can find them for $49.95-52.98 each any where I look.

Is this normal? I don't mind paying for parts, but to double the cost is freaking rediculous.

yes
