A better thing to have done is to call them if you wanted to add to your order, you probably would have saved the $11.50.
I know for a fact the shipping cost was less than 1/2 of what they quoted me in my case.......Its actually was closer to 2/3 less. I got the same product shipped the same distance for much less and then for curiostity I took it and had it priced to ship to Brothers.

Oh well.......lesson learned!!
