The BCS and SYCO stores charge a flat $15 shipping rate. I believe the SRKW store charged $10 but he lost money on the last batch of large knives he mailed. Remember they add delivery confirmation which adds a couple bucks to the price. I can't remember if they insure them or not but that adds money as well. To keep the stores up and running with CC support they rely on paypal which adds more cost to them plus we cant forget the cost of packing materials.All in all I am not going to complian about $15 shipping (and handling).
The boxes are free at the post office. Delivery confirmation is 50 cents. Priority mail starts at 4.10. Insurance is only a couple bucks. Both of my orders from the BCS cost $8 to ship. And Scrap yard doesn't charge a flat rate of 15 because my two cost 18.95.
