TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY BUCKS

The shipping costs MORE than the crib does.
Unfortunately, we in Alaska are very familiar with this kind of thing. But, you might call them and ask to talk to someone about it to see if there is another way.

One year we wanted to give Vermont maple syrup in unique bottles for Christmas presents. The shipping was outrageous -- twice the price of the syrup. So, I called them and asked if there were other options. One of the workers volunteered to stand in line at the post office and mail it to us which was the cheapest option.

I hate when FedEx and UPS are the only options. Sure, it's easiest for the shipper, but not for the recipient. They just drop things on your porch and leave. Since the porch is covered in snow most of the year...........
