i don't know what the packages measurements or weight are, so i don't know whether or not to agree that the cost is high.
i do know that steaming about it here isn't going to change anything.
also, we forget to sit down and think about how much it would cost us to take something to the destination ourselves. (double that, of course, because you have to get home again.)
just because we don't like the cost of something, it isn't automatically unfair. it's just more than we want to pay.
