There are some dealers that charge a fair cost for shipping. This past April I purchased two door sill and the steering wheel decals on eBay from a seller named 91zr1. His business is Design Specialties located in Sherwood, Arkansas. The shipping for the three was $1.25. I am considering the airbag decals and checked eBay. His shipping for them is $1.50; not as good as $1.25 but a bargain compared to most sellers.

I agree with you, the letters could fit in a larger envelope, like one of those padded ones. Shipping on that could not be more than a few dollars. 12 bucks is outrageous.

If it's shipping UPS and needs box, packing materials, and labor. . .sometimes it just doesn't get much cheaper than that.

Vendors like that don't make much when you order one inexpensive item. If you didn't like it, you shouldn't have paid it...

I agree sometimes it's too high, but this doesn't seem altogether blatant unless shipping via USPS and it's only $2-3...

Yeah, it pretty much costs the same amount to process an order for one $4 item, as it does to process an order for a set of $120 floormats. Same with your $60 letters... Just order more stuff at the same time. Corvettes needs lots of goodies!
