They tried to get a cut of the $73 shipping charge which is zero profit and would cancel out the profit on the sale of a $41 clock. I would only get $25 and then have to buy a very sturdy box and packing which probably cost $5 to $10. Plus I'd have to spend an hour packing and another hour in line at the post office to mail it. The average wait time at our post office is 50 minutes. One employee and always at least 20 to 30 customers in line. People with cars drive to other cities to mail stuff....
