THEY didn't rape you...it came to you UPS Express. I bet it was there in less than a week too...right? USPS has raped them time and time again when they shipped the cheapest option so they ship to you the SAFEST option. Otherwise you pay for it and never get your product possibly.
Or you could always have it cheap shipped to a friend in the USA and then have them send it to you USPS cheap...although expect to pay about the exact same in shipping charges and it will also take 2-3 times as long to get you, unguaranteed or insured.
I paid $85 shipping on my last order with them and it was the best $85 I'd spent in a while.
