Impossible for me to charge a flat rate
I ship items anywhere from 10" tall to 52" tall
Why shoudl I charge someone in the next state more $$ to make up for the person in California who also wants to order from me
What about the 2 orders I sent to Hawaii?
The 4 orders to Canada?
The people in the UK, Australia & other countries who want me to ship to them?

And the EBay calculator is SO FAR OFF
And UPS can be $20 more then my FedEx shipping

It's so hard because shipping rates have increased greatly & Ebay/Paypal have cornered the market & take a greater then average cut of the sale

They generate the LARGEST UPS shipping and DO NOT Pass the savings on to the Seller/Buyer
They get you coming, going, paying & shipping
