I've shipped $20k items before and shipping was a fraction of that. Hopefully this year is better.

In some cases it is. But I guess they are not going to calculate it based on every package. Not saying its right but it is what it is.
200 for a large rare cabinet picture doesn't strike me as outrageous. If someone spends $20,000 on a piece, I doubt they will complain over a $300 shipping job that is highly professional akin to what fine artwork receives. (But many people who weren't going to buy anything anyway under any circumstances will complain and be mortally outraged.)
