ANY BIG shipper... probably not elecraft ( too small) can get BIG 
discounts from UPS.Probably fedx also.

   So a published price & the price you and I Pay to ship a box might 
be $ 21.00. A big shipper might get 40-50 % off list....
Then of course they don't have to PASS THAT ON TO YOU.

BUT RATHER ADD TO THE  warehouse costs of doing business.,,,,
or more accurately reduce costs...  Wars probably go on as to which 
department get to take the difference.

Some companies that add freight to the bill actually only charge 
actual costs...
not the published cost.
