They could have sent it in a padded envelope and saved me some cash! Maybe the S&H charges should depend on product size, not dollar amount.

Shipping in usually the actual charges...HANDLING is where they get you! Handling is one way to increase your profit margin AND charge tax on top of it as well. I have seen instances where handling can increase profitability 500%.
Shady dealings...but legal
