Does anyone have, or know of a reasonably priced supplier of good clean

I have one 8" box with Xerox software in which the plastic literally
crumbling.
The price this seller wants for the case itself is reasonable but I
find the
price of shipping outrageous.
Total shipping price for three boxes is shown to be $21.35.
I may be crazy, but this seems nuts for something so light.
Don, it's not the weight, it's the size. They use a thing called
"dimensional weight" for large, light packages. (and I agree, it's
stupidly expensive)
eBay has always been rather stupid when it comes to shipping.
I have seen many people who are actually making their profit
from the shipping rather than the actual item for sale.
On the other side of the coin... I once tried to sell a couple
Chilton's car manuals. The shipping price I quoted was the cost
of a "If it fits, it ships" USPS envelope. eBay refused to let
me do it claiming the shipping charges were too high. I haven't
tried selling anything on eBay since. (and I have a lot of stuff
that just screams to be sold there!!)
