Guy shipped me 2 wax boxes, heavy, postage was only $3.96???

I do alot of ebay selling and I hate it when it comes time to have to pay for my costs. I send everything 1st class mail. Is there anything that costs less. For instance, this guy from Georgia sold me a couple wax boxes and I noticed the shipping label said $3.96? How in the heck did he swing that lol?

These boxes are heavy, Ive sold things not even 1/4 of this weight and the price was like $2.22. What gives?

No, don't risk it, packages with Media Mail can be inspected and if it isn't actual media mail they send it back to you
