That's a reasonable fee....JMO.I was quoted about $8=9 to ship a small 6" ruler from the next state, bring total to just shy of $20 for a $10 ruler.Found it in a local store.But I agree with other posters.A reasonable fee is one thing, but too many are jacking up fees for profit.One example is the fees added to many things adv on TV.Check them twice...or you might not see that fees till you get your bank statement.
