I've been ordering from Pet Edge for a little over 1 year and I agree, the shipping prices are outrageous. But I continue to order from them because I like to order my dog's toys in bulk. My last order was about 1 month ago and I spent $60 on toys - you can't even IMAGINE how many toys I was able to buy for $60. If I bought toys from my local pet shop, $60 would get me about 10 toys because they're so expensive. But I ordered over 40 toys on Pet Edge.
