However, I've had lots of things mailed UPS recently, but the difference between $25 shipping and $133 shipping sounds suspicious. I've had boxes of parts sent UPS overnight from California to Oklahoma for $30. Sometimes I think that "shipping and handling" is more for the "handling" than the "shipping." Just my two cents.
