Gamer 2000. You are 1000% correct. I guess the average person does not understand that the mail service or UPS trucks actually charge to ship items... You could not ship 1000 Magic cards to your neighbor across the street for less than about $5.50. If you were to ship that same box across the country you would be looking at $10 minimum. $7.35 is very reasonable and as you said, just because the item only costs $8.99 does not mean the shipping is any less than if the item cost $899... UPS and the Postal service could care less how much the item inside the box is worth.
