Sounds to me like he works for Backyadigan boatwerx, is he just stupid?

Sounds like it comes with free installation... or a trunk monkey.

Yep, sounds pretty bad, alright! The store has a shipping program that calculates shipping charges directly from UPS and Fedex. Sounds like you selected one of those.
Had you selected USPS International Priority the rate would have been much lower. Certainly not $6.50, however -- that cost just does not exist for anything to Australia.

Strange you would not have written me or order@catsailor.com with the question. Quite often on foreign shipments the shipping quotes are way out of line. When and if you contact us directly, we can often find lower rates and manually over-ride the store software.

Hope this helps,
Rick

Please accept my sincere apologies Rick - I didn't see an option for different shipping rates where the next step was to complete the transaction. Yes, I should have contacted you - most of these on-line stores are automatic and you rarely find a real person. John

Cool that it works for you.

I used to call my (x) girlfriend the tramp napper (she liked to sunbathe while i sailed)... didn't work so well for us.

Perhaps i should have explained the term "tramp" was short for the trampoline... oh well... hind sight...
