With the shipping they charge, it's almost 50% extra on the cost of the order. In comparison, I shipped US$9500 of solar batteries across the border last month and paid $170 to a reputable broker that actually had to do some work.

What unmitigated scumbags.

I decided long ago that I'd rather do without than deal with anyone other than the post office.

It's getting tougher, though, with an increasing number of vendors who refuse to drop something in the mail. I don't know, maybe in the US, the postal service won't do daily scheduled pickups for companies with enough business.
