Shipping for a 27" monitor?

Ey there,

My first post to the forums, but I've been reading 'em for a few months.  So I finally decide on a monitor for my cab I plan to build, and ordered it from Happs.  The 27" SVGA Vision Pro.  I also picked up a bezel, and 2 sticks.  Shipping to Tacoma, WA was quoted at $175 for 4 day truck delivery.  I wanted to see if that's about what others have paid as well.  I guess I was thinking it would be closer to $100 than $200 for shippn'.  

Thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thanks

Doesn't sound like you got ripped off.  Monitors cost a lot to ship because of their weight.

well, to give you some reference point, I shipped out a guitar amplifier half-stack speaker cabinet w/ 4 speakers from Indiana to Ohio. It measured about 2 feet long, 1 foot wide, 2 feet tall. It weighed about 65-70lbs and shipping via UPS Ground was around $70 (dont' remember exact amount). Hope this helps you out.

That sounds like a lot to me.  I bought a 30" Wide HD, flat TV that weight 125 lbs from amazon and it shipped for $60 using a special frieght company that even brought it into my house and helped me take it out of the packaging and put it in place (it is VERY heavy).   They may have some special deal though.

Mmmmmm I think it sounds right. Those things are HEAVY. And they come in extra large boxes with lots of styrofoam padding.
