Shipping rates spiked at some point during this year. I sent a set of lightweight bicycle wheels domestically a couple months back. I shopped the rates & it came up to a min of $65 no matter who I went with. The box weighed no more than 8lbs. It had never been nearly this high in the past.

My suggestion would be to find someone with an account & have them ship. Some companies get huge discounts on rates.
