Hi List, Priority mail cost $3.85 and that is exactly what we charge on smaller items. Do not forget that multiple orders are combined. On the average seven pieces are shipped in one package making it about 50 cents an item, and all show up within 3 days. I would say this is not a bad deal. As far as international shipping goes the boxes the meteorites are shipped in have to be paid for unlike Priority Mail making it about the same cost. Shipping is not a good way to pad auctions.
