The order placed weighed 16 pounds and was shipped from Los Angeles to New York. All shipping charges are based on actual shipping carrier’s current rate. We offer the best price available on our products and make no profit on shipping. ”
"I still maintain that shipping of $14.00 for a $60 order, even at 16 lbs, is excessive. Take the example of zipzoomfly who ship 2nd day Fedex free. It may be true that the seller doesn't make a profit on shipping and cannot control rates from a particular shipper but he has control over which shipper to use based on their rates, he should try: GHL, FEDEX, etc... who have lower shipping costs than UPS"
