how the heck does that ship for $20? Wow.
Can't tell by your question if you think that's too high or too low. In any event, a USPS Priority Mail flat rate "medium" sized package, up to 70 pounds, ships anywhere in the USA for $17.10. Add on the PayPal credit card transaction fee and you get close to the $20 figure. BTW, this box of cutoffs actually weighed in at 11 pounds, so Priority Mail is the cheapest way to go.

Generally, anything weighing 2 pounds or more will ship cheaper via USPS Priority Mail than regular mail, UPS or FedX...if you can fit it in one of their flat rate boxes.

Off topic...just before Christmas i was rooting around for a "special" pen blank, and ran across a small flat rate box that i hadn't marked on the outside. Opened it to find quite an assortment of clay cabochons i had purchased from @Ed Davidson several years ago. Not a great photo, but my test piece was a bottle stopper of otherwise plain vanilla maple. Looked much better in person!! Thanks Ed!!

Cabochons are easy to make and can add a lot to your turning's uniqueness. Glad to know you liked the box I sent.
