The 75$ is domestic shipping, shipping the crates usually costs me quite a few thousand dollars, I have paid in excess of 10K on just shipping and collection from the UK to Denver. Then the crates are trucked to me, another grand or so. Broker fees on both sides, somebody has to do the paperwork, even antiques require documentation and Customs clearance which require a broker on commercial shipments.

With all your time in the military, can you believe the costs are related to red tape?

Nothing is easier these days. Last year I had months and months of delays, paperwork, funds being held up due to new anti terrorist and money laundering laws, shipments stopped by US Customs for extensive deep in inspections which they charge me for.

We all want a simpler way of doing business, everybody except the Governments.
