Goatracer, in cases like this please give us a call and we can work to give you the best shipping rate. Our best possible rate for some small items would currently be First Class Postal for $10. That may still sound like a lot for certain items, but please understand rates have gone up exponentially in recent times. We've done our best to absorb these additional costs, but we could only do so much for so long. We've gone from losing money to barely breaking even, please trust me when I say we are not making a killing. Concerning dropping the piece in an envelope with a postage stamp, this is not a method we're able to do due to the lack of tracking and accountability. All in all, I understand your frustration! We're in the same boat. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Kyler @ Ames
