Anna You are just looking at the shipping cost. When you shipped your law books, who paid for the shipping materials? Not the Post Office. Who paid for packaging the law books? Not the Post Office. Who paid for delivering the package to the Post Office? Not the Post Office. Every business that adds the cost of sending purchased merchandise to you charges S/H. Shipping and Handling (not just shipping).
