Innogear: $10 to ship a $30 springboard!!!

I was appauled that Innogear expects $10 to ship a $30 springboard. I started to buy the vibrating module, but AFTER I entered all of my credit card info, it gave me a shipping included total and it was ten bucks for a padded envelope and three or four stamps. I kind of expect this from some of the "box" distributors, but the manufacturer? I wish they had competition for that module, I would have picked up another brand if I could. It should be illegal to advertise prices w/o handling charges. I work in retail and it would be like me putting $10 on a bottle of wine then charging a $5 handling fee at the register.

I did save $9 by purchasing through palmgear and getting it $5 cheaper with only $6 shipping.

Also, what is with palmgear not being able to ship to my office? Shipping uninsured and having the US postman leave an item on the stoop for my crack-head neighbors to steal does not make me want to buy anything of value from them.

For $5 a piece(just for handling fee, shipping extra), I can do handling for them. Could you say easy money?
