FWIW, here's the deal on shipping. The box is definately "oversized" so the USPS wants you to pay dimentional weight. That is where the high price tag comes from. On this pass and a number of others, I have used click and ship and not paid the dimentional weight. The risk in that is that the box may arrive postage due. If that ever happens to me, I plan on making it right with the recipient, but so far, it had gone through without a hitch. If you take the box to the counter to ship it, there is a very good chance they will charge you the exhorbanate rate, so I strongly suggest Click and Ship. You don't have to have them pick it up, you can still just drop it off at the PO.
