I never calculate the shipping. If I did it would be very high. The calculater just adds it has no brain to think of. Just do your order and then they calculate the shipping for you. It is always very very resonable. If you want to know the shipping first email them and they will give you the best estimate based on what you want to buy. I got five yards one time and they stuffed it into the $4.70 (I think that is the cost) envelope. I have not found anyone else that does that except for one other person.
