You are right, Mike, UPS charges are ridiculous.  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.
