Same here for me. I don't think that USPS calculation tool is working right....

If I was thinking about buying this(which I wouldn't because of the shipping price), I'd think twice and e-mail the seller because of the statment in the auction:
THIS WILL BE SHIPPED IN THE BOX IT COMES IN. . The way it sounds to me, is that it is going to be shipped in it's box without a mailer box. Just my opinion :roll: .

The shipping is so high because the seller has NEXT DAY EXPRESS MAIL marked. @_@

I'm pretty sure that the seller meant to click Priority Mail and just messed up.

I wouldn't be willing to bid on it and find out if he is going to charge less. That is a pretty expensive risk.

Wow. That's pretty damn stupid, if that is his plan. No air-pack or anything...and you're paying $31.40 for the privilege.

Ass-raping, anyone? :roll:
