Shipping would cost around $11.00 in a flat rate medium size box. You have to remember that this isn't light, it's heavy, almost 9 lbs. I could ship via parcel post, but I won't know how much that will cost until I find out who wins and where they're located. That's why I'm offering free shipping, but think it's only fair that I at least get enough points to cover the cost of $11.00.
