Yep. It's bad. Shipping should never be more than the price of the item.

Dude, that sort of shipping for a single figure, regardless of age or style is B-FN-S. I have seen several ebay sellers charge similar amounts for shipping that can take over a week for the item to get to you; needless to say I try to avoid them. I have been involved in shipping and receiving occupations for a good number of years now and know all too well the costs of shipping for businesses and private sector individuals alike. It is often seen as another opportunity to get more money from a buyer. Joe figures weigh next to nothing and there are FEW normal shipping services that will charge 7-10 bucks to ship something that weighs so little and one would have to have their head buried somewhere dark to go with such a shipper. If a seller is really using a shipper that charges that much, they are friggan retarded. Otherwise they are just trying to rip off the buyer which is a more common occurrence I would imagine. If I really wanted to buy a ROC figure, I could drive quite some distance for 7-10 bucks in place of having it shipped to me.

to canada with insurance and tracking than it is to do so to Chile, Sweden, Ireland, or Japan. I'm baffled. I've tried it several ways... itz always more. itz not even weight or surcharge. I've sent big obtuse odd boxes and smaller ones. Canada is always $$. but yeah. I usually do free shipping if itz not crazy. but this ebay stuff is out of hand with ROC.
