I get the same across the board on all items.

My FinishLine purchases cost me more in postage charges than the sum total of the parts.
That's just one of the problems with the USA now, we are killing are market by charging shipping rates this high, it makes me not even want to buy USA because even I can get it cheaper from farther away because of cheaper shipping...
