48 state flat rate shipping
$23 < 1700 cu in - 49 lbs
"ground" so they say (perhaps through the ground?)
$150 > 1700 cu in - 1 lbs (same weight OR LESS)
PART II
china sells vacuum cleaners >> 1700 cu. in. for $50. they have to be mfg (including hsipping of raw materials!), shipped to port in china, put on train, gotten off train into depos. not all local depos carry same model: so if you order off amazon - it still needs TO BE SHIPPED possibly across some states - FROM CHINA: all for $50 - while they are telling you $150 for a smaller package w/in 48 states. it just so happens there are Made in USA vacuum CHINA hasn't shut down yet: it's highly likely once china shuts them down with illegally low prices they will quadruple the price of chinese vacuum at homedepot - that is their typical goal - a 400% increase on USA's price once they kill the USA makers off

PART III
businesses like Microsoft AREN'T PAYING. they get special business class statuses. government (often microsoft contract) AREN'T PAYING. it doesn't come out of 'an agency budget', they use general funds, and they are on a special business discount.
THE ONLY PERSON PAYING BIG, 6x big WOULD BE ME; and the reason why is i'm an obstruction to china selling A NEW ITEM from china, since obvious if i am boxed, that isn't what the deal is
PART IV
It's 600%. It's not a stiff increase it's not double: it's SIX HUNDRED PERCENT INCREASE.

I know! I'll make the PC case have hinges. Ship it some assy req'd. Just under 1700. cOPYRIGHT ME. THE WORLD OWES ME A TON OF MONEY NOW.
(unfortunatley we KNOW during Clinton that PC were subsidized shipping mostly only for BIG TECH (unless you disputed in the store) - which means the second i sell folding cases: they will make FLAT RATE 1200 cu in just below the new PC folded size)
