The shipping charges seem a bit out of line given that baseball cards are nothing more than thin cardboard. Whats up with that?

Shipping is based on weight, size and distance. The weight is affected by the fact that every single card of your Ultimate Team Set is housed in both a sleeve and a toploader. Those protections add a lot of weight. Secondly, the set boxes themselves are just slightly over the size limit for a shipping price break. That slightly larger box jumps the shipping charges into the next category. I can assure you, though, that the shipping charge is far less than the postage you would have to pay if you tried to order and ship each card in the set. Far less. Do the math…1,200 cards times 43 cents per card…plus the envelope…and the handling charge…. And just how much is your time worth?
