Have you shipped anything lately... it's gotten pretty pricey. I think that ship fee is more than fair.

Mine has shpped (from CHINA)
No mention of that on Amazon.
Guess that accounts for $8 price as I'm certain they pay no royalty fees.

As you said, comes from China and will take about three weeks based on past experience. I intend to use it as a bath mat

Seriously, how much do you think it should cost to get something shipped from China to the US.

Package, even folded would be quite large. yes I think that is probably reasonable shipping charges. What I don't like is finding out after the fact that I have to wait 3 weeks. I have Amazon Prime and am not used to waiting. If there was mention of shipping time, I must have missed it.

Mine arrived yesterday.
I would say it's definitely worth the price.

I just ordered the Weather Tech cargo mat and the cargo tech blocks to keep my stuff from sliding all over the place.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with it.
