Injectors and core charges

I need to replace at least two injectors (4 and 6 showing power balance issues). I may replace all four injectors on that side, but I can't get over the $800 core charge on these things. I want to use Motorcraft injectors, and I'd like to find a place that will arrange to ship new injectors to me and allow me a 30 day grace period to return the cores without actually charging an $800 core charge unless the cores aren't returned.

Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can get Motorcraft injectors (4C3Z 9E527 BRM) and work around the core charge?

One solution might be to remove the injectors and send the cores in before placing an order for new injectors, but I don't want my truck to be down for a week while I wait for parts.

Only thing I can think of....if you have a local Ford dealer, remove your old ones and turn them in when you get the Ford remans. (maybe take off work friday if possible) Might cost more per injector, but will eliminate the core charge upfront.

I doubt you'll find an online retailer that will give you a 30 day grace period to send in your cores without a core charge....I guess it's possible, but I don't know of any.

Where are you located? I don't know of any online places that will bypass core charge. If your in the right area there maybe a local shop that can do it.
