The US Shipping price for the Tula Pink was $9.68. So we discounted international shipping (Around $11.00) by $9.68, to arrive at around $1.xx.
The US Shipping price for the Michael Miller is around $3.00. So we discount the base international shipping price (around $7.00) by the $3.00 to arrive at a shipping price of $4.xx
Shipping is never "free", we (somebody) has to pay for it. So when we give US shipping away for "free", we discount international shipping rates by the equivalent amount so that International buyers receive the equivalent "promotional value" as US buyers.
Due to drastically different rates for different weighted packages, it ends up with "weird" results, i.e. the Tula Pink which is much heavier, costing less than the Michael Miller card which weighs less.
I can assure you, Massdrop is paying the courier services about $3.00 per US order, and about $7 per International to ship these out.
