why does a box of six plastic items weigh 15 pounds and cost a fortune to ship?

they fit nice in a usps flat rate box , like 11 dollars per 6 pack. I think it would cost me 20 dollars in gas and an hour and a half to drive to staples and get them.. prime is a good deal free shipping . I always look for prime

Shipping charges maybe, but the unit itself weighs hardly one pound. The packaging must be very protective!

It's *HEAVY*. The writeup says: Shipping Weight: 15 pounds and I think that sounds right.

When I purchased mine, it was a box of 12. I paid $54 plus shipping. I thought that was a good deal. However, in THIS description, the shipping weight is only 1 pound. Although individual cones are lightweight, 1 pound sounds awfully light for a box of 12.

Amazon lists it's weight at 15.2 ounces (shipping weight) so you would need to deduct the weight of the shipping box.I have no idea how much the box would weigh, but it would not be very much. It appears to be a metal body with plastic coating. Hope this helps.

It's because they ship it on a pallet in pieces and, very very heavy in pieces. It does not only weigh 90lbs.

The shipping weight is wrong unless you are getting 5 of them. You are right it is only 1.6 lbs sounds like it's off.

The shipping cost is actual, $11.84 for a kit that weights over 5.6 lbs is not unreasonable and accurate.

sorry, the shipping time need about 7-15 days by tracking number, so it is expensive. thanks for your understanding.

Unbelievable! I want to buy four of these and the shipping is going to be $19.96! What's the total weight, a couple of ounces? What's up with that Amazon???

It weighs one pound ten ounces. If you are concerned about shipping, I plan to pay the postage.

I'm not exactly sure, my guess would be around 10 pounds, I think the shipping charge was $15

I previously responded but wanted to add that the whole package may weigh 10-15 pounds.

No, the actual item weighs 6.3 ounces. The shipping weight may be trying to account for dunnage and shipping box weight.

Not 100% sure, but if I recall the box was approx. 5'x6' and weighed about 150 pounds.

I just put mine on a postage scale: 15.0 oz. Maybe you are looking at the shipping weight. Is has some heft because there is a battery in it that seems to last forever.

Unfortunately, the item (6) is so heavy, the rate is calculated that way. I know, it is steep and difficult to sell.
