Why shipping cost so much

[Tubs]

I have ordered a rebuild kit for my leaf blower
carburetor. It could easily fit in a regular
envelope but will probably come in a blister pack.
From Stanly WI. to where I live is 332 miles.
Tubs.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

I can’t understand shipping routes either.   I live about 175 miles southwest of Houston, Tx and on a recent order I placed out of Houston, it was first sent north to Dallas, then southwest to San Antonio, west from there to El Paso (750 miles west of Houston), then back to San Antonio, then to me.   7 days and 1800 miles of shipping for a 175 mile delivery.   I could drive up to Houston, pick it up myself, then be back home in 6 hours.
