I sometimes enter an order, and then when the total shows up on the screen, I click on the Big X! It’s not unusual for the shipping cost on something to be more than the price. I hate that!

The shipping rate on these maps from the U.K. was very reasonable.

That’s a big scam on eBay, too.

An item costs $1.99 but shipping is $50.

It’s called fee avoidance.

There’s a pair of boots in the UK just like ones I already have [I want a spare pair...LOL] but the shipping is more than the boots.

It costs $60 to ship boots from England?

We shipped an entire several-hundred-pound trike kit to Ireland for less than $600.

They sure must use heavy shoe boxes.
