actually to take it a step further, thay did not even have the product in stock, it had to be ordered from the manufacturer then shipped to them then shipped to me...I ordered the medchandise 10 days ago...I understand small companies and thaey try to do the best that they can but I dispise one that sends you a "Total Due" invoice then charges additional and undisclosed amounts.  I did expect to pay for shipping, I just expected it to be disclosed up front, not an amount that I would be unaware of.

Blame it on UPS! A lot of mail order places have contracts with UPS. There's
a minimum charge of at least $7 on anything, even if it could be stuck in a
standard envelope and mailed USPS for $0.42. USPS is usually better for shipping
small items, but the deal with UPS seems to keep shops from using USPS also, or
maybe UPS just makes it so convenient for them. Can't have an employee going
to the post office or packing and shipping small orders for $2 or so (got to pay
someone to stuff and stamp even envelopes!).
