Well I feel alot better knowing most of you feel the same way about shipping as I do...So I did contact this store and they said the shipping amount was correct that it is shipped by flat rate box...hummmmm NOT...I surfed around a bit more and found most of what I was looking for and I can buy up to 8yds of fabric and the shipping in a flat rate box will on cost me......are you ready for this.....$14.99 at the most...and as for shipping fedx or UPS Not a chance I was also caught on the extra huge charge...so yes it is USPS.....but hey thanks bunches for listening to my alittle rant....I feel much better now...Yeppers if the shipping is out of this world I just don't buy from that shop......
