Was going to buy a few small items from seyberts and was astounded buy the shipping charges. The cheapest shipping option cost more than everything else. Is this normal? Do they really try to push the $99+ free shipping deal or what?

Hard to buy small items from these sellers when you can get free shipping on the same items with Amazon prime or Amazon purchases that total $25 or so. Also many eBay sellers are now going with free shipping.

Where it is shipping to? Remember, Trump tariff and also the shipping cost went sky high.

I usually shipped my cue with ups Canada, for a value 50$ i still have to pay 30% tax on tariff. So be careful.

Looks like next day air to Alaska
 
It may not be any consolation but at least you can get a package shipped to you next day air , that's just a dream in Montana !
No matter going in to or out of the state it won't be happening ! No matter hom,much you spend !
 
Honestly that’s the ups rate. If he uses pirate ship, it’ll be 1/3 of that price. Anyhow good luck with asking him to change the way his shipping.
Also he might put the insurance value on the shipping. Usually big websites would do that, to protect their customers and their business.

Same in AK, I picked up an overdue package at the post office in Anchorage I had mailed from the lower 48, had a short conversation with the guy behind the counter about next day air. He says I don't care what they tell you where you mailed it or how much you paid, next day air on our end means it gets here when it gets here.
 
Seyberts clearly don't want to deal with small orders.

I can understand why, as the profit on those orders is tiny, and as it worth the hassle?

I will always use Seyberts to buy my big ticket items, but will go elsewhere for smaller items.
