Why is SlikStik's shipping so high?
lostwire:
I was planning on ordering a pair of 360 sticks, a bunch of buttons & a spinner & my shipping charges came out at over $30. Mind you I only live just 30 minutes away from them. Is this some sort of error generated by their web page?
RayB:
You do know most shipping methods are based on package size, and weight, and not directly proportional to distance. (Distance is a factor, but it's not proportional to the mile...)
Sucks huh?
Maybe you should just drive over there...

If they allowed me to drive there it would save me a lot of cash. :)
Seriously though $30 is really double what one should expect to pay which is why I'm wondering about what's going on. I've sent synthesizers via UPS across the country for that kind of money for crying out loud. :)
cholin:
Some shipping companies and methods cost much more than others. Assuming Slikstik sends their products packaged well and safe, people would rather pay the shipping than get a broken product in the mail.
RayB:
Maybe they send Express by default...... that really increases costs (but then you get the goods in 2 days)
