Yes, that says $207.15 shipping for a $5.68 light bulb

Wow, what a scam!  I've seen alot of 3rd party sellers on Amazon gauge for shipping but never like this.  Thats just ridiculous!  Thanks for the heads up.

scam.... :-/ I think not, just a mistake eh.

this is the sellers shipping info:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/shipping.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&isCBA=&orderID=&asin=&seller=A25DVOZOPBFMAN&isPopup=

 

and his feedback:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/feedback.html?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&isCBA=&orderID=&asin=&marketplaceSeller=&seller=A25DVOZOPBFMAN&isPopup=

 

I very much doubt he would have obtained 97% postive feedback with a shipping cost of that much...you never know though hey

...or simply make it a routing wherever you buy online.

Check that the total sums up correctly before finalizing the order.

I thought amazon fixed the rates for shipping even for the third party sellers depending on the item category?
