I would be glad to get a lower cost for shipping ....if I really wanted I can re- bundle the contents myself.
I agree, shipping charged needs to be the actual shipping rate. I was ordering a bunch of material from a shop that was closing and was on sale at really good prices, had $45.00 worth of material in my basket and found the shipping charge was $20 - only one option offered - so I just closed the window and didn't complete my order. Personally, I don't like the feeling that I am being ripped off with shipping charges! I understand shops wanting to make a profit, but not on shipping! :roll:
