I would definitely do this if 1) I know someone I trusted in the area and 2) knew it wouldn't be much of an inconvenience for them. As a follow up I asked if there were any other shipping options. The response I got back today was "Due to the overall value of your invoice, the items must be shipped overnight for a safe and secure transit. Let me know how you wish to proceed." sigh. On a positive note, the terms indicated a 26% BP but they only charged me 20% so that helps.

I won a lot that had a 16 x 20 photo, 3 books, a small piece of wood and around 15 signed photos. The total lot cost $160 and change. I was quoted $113 for shipping. That is the most outrageous shipping quote I have ever received in 25 plus years buying at auctions. I emailed the head of shipping asking for alternatives because I am certainly not paying over $100 for a lot that could be shipped by priority mail for less than $25.
