Most of the time freight is expensive because of dimensional weight. This is where UPS and FedEx will estimate the minimum weight of a package based off the size of the box, not off the actual weight of a box. As an example a box of 100 water bottles weighs the same as 1000 pens, but because the of the size of the water bottle box it cost twice as much to ship. Some other factors include your location’s distance from our production facilities, if your address is residential, if the order was shipped via expedited services, etc.
