Really? What happened to things like free shipping on orders over a few hundred bucks?.

That freight price sounds about right.
"Free" freight went away when online shopping took off and fuel prices jumped up. Since freight was never "free", the cost of it was built in to the price of the product. Manufacturers were only able to throw it in because the product was inflated. Now, pricing has to be competitive to get an order, so you pay a separate line item for freight. You always paid it before, it's just a line item now.
