Dave - it's not fair to compare. REA only takes a 17.5% BP so they can absorb more of the shipping cost. Mastro takes 20% so they have less...oh wait...

For what it's worth, my total from Legendary was over $31,000 with a shipping cost of $35. Somehow I suspect that they are eating some costs there, agreed?

When I initially received the invoice which listed the shipping total of $198 I was surprised because, well, that seemed high. But insuring a package of that value does obviously cost more than $35. While perhaps one can always find a shipper to do things cheaper I have no doubt that the $198 figure was at least in the ballpark considering the insurance costs.

Jeff-

Yes, I'd say they are eating some costs on your shipping at this point. But that still isn't a great reason to make others pay stupid amounts either. What is more bothersome is that they've obviously changed the shipping for some after receiving emails but haven't even bothered responding to others.

The cost to send a small package (weighing 2 lbs.) via Registered Mail and insured for $31k from their zip code to yours Jeff would be about 56 bucks.
