Yep…I know a few that may try to dispute this but…it’s FJBs fault!!! Everything we buy is transported by diesel…this administration has declared a war on fossil fuel’s…. And this is the outcome. Unbelievable!!!

I tried to ship a one-piece 8 ft. surf casting rod to my sister's in Florida because I was going there on vacation and wanted to do some beach fishing for mackerel and blues - the box was 8'-2" x 7" x 7" and very light weight - it would have cost $326!!!  Way more than the rod is worth.  I just bought a rod down there, but still a waste.

I sell a lot of items on EBay a ship mostly USPS an the prices they charge are ridiculous. It’s turns away a lot of potential buyers cause shipping is so high.
