HeyBub:

You said in another thread that your Harbour Freight saw weighted over
50 pounds, but the shipping on it was only $6.99.

I had to pay $12 to ship three lithium ion batteries for my digital
camera from Vancouver to Winnipeg. Those three batteries together
weighed less than one pound. Maybe the distances involved account for
the difference in shipping costs. Vancouver, BC is about 600 miles from
Winnipeg. Was your saw shipped that far?

Was that the US Postal Service that did the shipping on the saw, or a
courier like UPS or Purolator?

Obviously, something seems amiss when it costs less to ship a 50 pound
saw than one pound of batteries. Either the shipping costs in the US
are super cheap or the shipping costs in Canada are super expensive.





Saw sounds big but US has boxes with flat rate no matter what weight.
I just bought about 40 lb of lead bullets and shipping and handling was
only $13.
