I just sent email to the company complaining about the shipping cost.
They claim the package is 8 lbs but there still no way (IMHO) that it
should cost around $40 to ship it.  It is a little better when one buys
four at a time (assuming you divide the shipping by your other three
friends).

I checked eBay, there aren't any out there (yet).  There will be someday.

Later,

Andy
