Why is shipping so outrageously expensive?

M-This product is currently being offered, as of November 17, with free shipping by the seller Big Kitchen. If you seek one-day shipping, then, yes, the shipping is around 42 bucks. Depending on where you live, some stores sell bottles that look exactly like this. If you have a Meijer grocery store in your neck of the woods, you can find these exact bottles in clear and in colors. Of course, costs fluctuate on a day by day basis with Amazon.

Retail on this is between 7.99 and 14.99 at stores ... Weighs 2 lbs ... Minimum postal is around $6.00 for your zone to $12 cross country .. So most vendors lose money on the sale of 1 piece and count on the sale of 2 or more to make a profit.

The international shipping is calculated by Amazon, but sometimes they charge ridiculously high which is completely unfair, if that happens I will refund your excess shipping fees. The normal cost and insurance should be no more than $10

Our costs are higher than you have found it. These prices mostly include shipping. Amazon also collects a 15% fee from the sellers of this item. I would say keep buying it where you are.

We have never ship to this location before. There maybe additional shipping charges.

I don't know why? But I live in the UAE and not only am I subject to high shipment costs (Around $200) but where I live has also imposed custom duties for goods purchased which costs 20% of the good purchased!!!! I also tried ebay but I am shocked to see shipment cost of $60, 80 and even 250!!!!!! No Joke. I stopped purchasing from both ebay and Amazon. Even sending a small book abroad will cost me $60 using a local courier!

It was probably offered for $9.71 by a 3rd party seller who did not include the shipping costs into their list price. This annoys me when it happens too.

Because the shipping is free and normally would cost you almost as much as the table. They want it for real customers, not someone reselling the tables as a business with Amazon paying the freight.

Well honestly, the item itself costs a little over a dollar... shipping is expensive because it's shipping from Asia. If you want to buy in bulk and maybe in exchange pay less for shipping, you should contact the seller and work out a deal personally. That's what I usually do!

I have no idea except maybe it's different vendors, some vendors include shipping fees in price and some charge it separate, and some vendors just sell the product at different prices.

Amazon can only ADD the shipping when you order more than one item. So that can get quite high very quickly. Plus we are required to ship every item with delivery confirmation which means it has to be shipped as a package and not a letter ( which is much less). The actual postal charge is $2.32 for 1 -3 oz. So the shipping you will be charged is that actual shipping cost of $2.32 instead of the $3.38 that will show up at check out. We will refund the overage on that. Sorry for any confusion it is more expensive to ship packages but that is the only way we can get delivery confirmation unless we ship priority mail which is much more. Please feel free to give me a call with any questions at all. 608-792-8102

Hello, This all depends on the shipping method in which you purchase and where you are located. I have placed a link below with our shipping information and costs. Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Regards, Brandon

I have replied several times to the emails. I am not sure why they are not going through. We charge only what USPS charges us for shipping flat rate. I am not sure why you feel the shipping costs are high?

I am sorry to say now we are quite new on Amazon.com, and now we can not set the shipping yet, which means all the shipping is setup by Amazon now. and now the unit price is extremely cheap, and the shipping Amazon charge actually is not high, which is even cheaper than what I pay to USPS or FedEx.

Shipping costs tend to be directly associated with the weight of the package being shipped. Since this is a weighted vest that weighs 60 lbs, the shipping cost is going to be expensive.

It's weird. I didn't even know there was a shipping fee until I saw (in tiny little letters of course) on the upgrade sheet that arrived with my computer. I was curious because, when I processed the 'free' upgrade offer it said It would cost me $11+ for 'shipping and handling'. So I checked the sheet & saw that there is a charge to some locations (?)...I'm not on a different planet or anything, but whatever. It's still a deal. :)

Dear valued customer,Thank you for letting us know. That's because the real cost of the item is the combination of item cost and shipping fee. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you for kind understanding.Regards,
