Default Shipping (gotta laugh)

Awhile back someone was stating that some companies hit you hard when it comes to shipping. Well, he had a point!! This part should of been shipped in a small insulated envelope.
But I paid for it to be shipped in a box that probably could of held 50 of these items if ot more.
I had to laugh........but I bought from this vendor twice......first and last!

Weight plays the biggest role in shipping cost, until you get into the oversized boxes.

Weight was less than 12oz. Weight was not an issue

My Son ordered a guardian bell for me, and it came in the same size box as shown in Your picture. I'll bet it was from the same vendor
