that's tough man, why'd you ship if it turned out to be so much? Maybe just wait it out till he comes back on, and ask if he'll compensate, then take if from there. But this shouldn't be in ST

Never listen to people about shipping. Check the website and see how much it will cost.

the tyvek flat rate envelopes are durable, and can hold jiberish sweatshirts and only cost $8 i think. use those for in the US, and private shipping companies for outside the US

Read the thread with buying,selling, and shipping info in it. It has prices. Also, almost nothing will go entirely across the country for $5, however you must have packaged it funny. I have shipped a pair of sticks for that with Priority. Either that, or they upsold you at the post office/packaging store.

I've shipped a pair of skis from Seattle to like Indiana in a week for just over $20. Somehow I don't believe how you got reeled so hard.

Did you not use a flat rate box?
