Total cost of items: $80.81
SHIPPING IS $62.00!!!!!!!
Yes, I'm in Anchorage AK, so what. I buy and have stuff shipped all the time and have never, ever paid these kind of rates.
I ordered a 25-28' RV cover, which weighed somewhere around 30lbs and it only cost me $29.00.
The shipping is very high because Camping World only ships with UPS or FedEx and they both use the air freight shipping costs. Camping World doesn't realize Alaska is really part of the U.S. and that the US Post Office does have offices here in Alaska. Most of the items you were ordering would fit in a flat rate box or two and cost about $20 each to mail. May take 3-5 days to arrive but stuff I usually order I can wait
