Agreed. I charge exact shipping and I usually have boxes onhand. If I have to buy new boxes I might charge $1 or so. Sometimes you have to pay the cost of doing business as a courtesy. I have found that it builds repeat customers. John Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Shipping from Canada is always more expensive in my experience. If you want an inflated price for shipping try the $10 I was charged to ship 0.1 pounds (less than two ounces) of repro car parts from PA to MA. They use UPS. The post office would have cost under $2.00 I'll bet.
