Ok. I just tried to order one box of Nosler bullets as a test. It is $16.49. The calculated shipping on it is $9.62. That certainly is nuts.
Something else about this, Midway charges something like $3 as a "handling charge" for orders that total under $20 or $25. That would bring your shipping cost mentioned above down to $6.62 if you had bought two boxes instead of just the one.
Also, I've noticed a couple times that the default shipping estimate suggested to me was not necessarily the cheapest option. So I'm careful during the checkout phase to make sure I select the cheapest shipping option, which usually ends up being USPS and takes about a week for me to receive my order.
