That is not DSE, that is UPS or FEDEX. I just shipped a hydroboost unit to a guy literally 8 miles from the shop since he could not get here during business hours. It cost me $18 to ship it 8 miles and only costs me $25 to ship it to CA, figure that one out.
Basically the shipping companies have a flat rate to handle each box no matter how far they take it. Then they figure size in, which adds to the cost since your oversized box is taking away from smaller revenue boxes, etc. Throw in the stupid cost of fuel today, and yep, it cost $18 to ship a 2 ounce part across the country. I have had a number of items shipped from DSE, and pricing is not that different than anywhere else I have items shipped from.
