I once had a bike just over this amount and it was $150 to ship to FL vs the usual $50 to the east coast.
Also when sending books, don't you get to use Media Mail with USPS which is cheaper? No such thing for bikes. | I agree, Amazon is not the best place to sell a bike or large items. We often sell large items on Ebay but for local pickup only. Some items are just to hard to ship.
