It is ironic. If you check UPS, FEDX, DHL for shipping what you ordered from your house/business to the shippers address you can see what the cost should be. Many companies are adding revenue by overcharging on shipping.
In my case I needed a battery for my cell phone. At the local battery store it was $39. I asked why so much the clerk responded it requires special handling with these batteries(aftermarket battery). I smelled BS so I went to Amazon. There I got the battery (OEM) for $6.99 including shipping.
Pays to do a little homework when you smell BS.

I agree. I shop around a bunch for something when I'm buying. And if the shipping is outrageous, I keep shopping.
ALSO, I email them and TELL THEM their shipping is outrageous and that it cost them a sale.
Was shopping for a chest freezer the other day. Walmart and Home Depot, both $379, both ship free to their store, you pickup. Best Buy, $349.....BUT they won't ship it to their store (right across the street from Home Depot), it MUST be shipped to your home for $108. Think I bought it there ? I did email them to thank them for their stupid shipping policy, and online price, which Home Depot matched.

I live in Ontario Canada and buy Zetor parts in CZ Europe. A package of 50 lb costs me Euro 161 ( 180 US dollar) including customs clearing. No additional costs. Delivered at home within 14 days and paid by Paypal. My last order included two new fenders 22 inch width (less than 30 dollar US each). That made delivery this time more expensive.
One euro will cost US dollar 1.12
Wonder why I love my Zetor?

I have found all the courier services to be expensive and the worst, by far, is UPS. I won't go into details but many vendors work with the couriers to pad their profit margin.
For me, sending smallish items, the USPS or Canada Post are the best by far. Not perfect by any means but beats the so called courier services (UPS,FEDEX,DHL etc.) in both cost and delivery time.
