It's all boxed together from a sale that fell through. Not knowing the exact weight of the box, the cost of shipping is to ensure I have the money to cover the shipping.
It will depend on if the amount that may be left over. Since I reused a box from the store, the post office might have me rebox it, and I won't know until I go to mail it. I also don't know how much extra the tracking number will be, since I didn't factor that in to the estimate when I looked up the fee from the post office.
That's what I did, and because I don't know the exact weight, I could only estimate. The box definitely weighs more than 2 lbs. I have no job, just my husband works, and his pay just barely covers the bills. I have to make sure the s&h will cover everything, because there in no out of my pocket money to ship.
