they use overpriced shipping options.

Shipping does keep going up and up. I know from trying to keep up in shipping plans.

But you don't need to be Canadian to be skewered by over priced shipping.

I've ordered from a number of online companies recently where the shipping cost was higher than the product cost.

There's been more than a couple orders I didn't place because the shipping was huge for something I know I ship for a fraction of the cost. Sorry, hit a sore spot there.

I don't think shipping prices will follow gas prices unless the sky gets filled with those Amazon drones.
