Does waterrower always charge so much for shipping parts? They want nearly 50% of the price of the parts!

**UPDATE:** I called them directly and they took my order over the phone. They managed to get the shipping down to a very reasonable price, and said they would look into the website to see how it was calculating shipping. They were extremely friendly and helpful. Truly the level of customer service that they are known for.

It's all small stuff, shipping to the US. Just some wheels and straps. The biggest thing is the 17" handle upgrade. The shipping fee is about 50% of the cost of the items in my cart - $42 for $95 worth of parts. I was absolutely shocked.

Is this normal, or just a holiday thing?

I'd appreciate it if you don't guess, because your guess is as good as mine. If you've purchased parts directly from waterrower before, outside of the holidays, please let me know if this is what I should expect year round.

TIA, and happy holidays!
