Unfortunately some companies make a fortune off of shipping rates.  Don’t get me wrong a company should not loose money on shipping but don’t gouge your customers on it either. I mean 3times the shipping cost is just theft as far as I can see. I used to work in shipping and the last thing you want to do is burn you customers because with social media people will talk and people listen.
I will not ever buy from AK interactive again. I purchased 3 of the back issues of there modeling magazines . It was a great deal so I bought them. The shipping was 24€ I knew it was coming from Spain so I thought that must be the going rate. After 1 1/2 months I finally got the package and to my disgust on the package it said 8€ shipping. After that burn I never purchased anything from AK interactive again.
What I’m trying to say is vote with your $€£¥  let them know that the shipping rate is too high and if they don’t lower the rate you will cancel your order.
to be honest with you this really sounds like someone didn’t add up all the shipping materials that would be needed and now they are trying to cover their costs.
