Many of us also forget there is the cost of padded envelopes, etc that go into shipping. With a few cards, it's not that big a deal, but Lee and I found out just how expensive good shipping materials can be. We sold a guitar thru our business and didn't think we had a box for it, so I went and bought one. A box that made for shipping a guitar cost $18. Yes, $18. And that's not even adding in the shipping and padding materials.

there is more to shipping than simple postage. There is materials and the time it takes to properly pack the item and in some cases, take it to post office. When you are running a business, all these things matter. Granted, $6 is pretty stiff for a few cards, especailly if there in no insurance in the cost. With DC, it shouldn't cost more than $3-4 for a few cards.
