Shipping is expensive.

USPS no longer will move wheel boxes, unless you have a corporate account it seems (at least to Canada IME)....which leaves UPS and FedEx. Your average wheel box is 32"x32"x8". Which comes out to a "billable weight" of around 50lbs...or $100+USD.

Like I said, shipping is expensive. Not the seller's fault--that is how it is.
