its because usps puts the cost to ship on the box. if they charged you $80 to ship the box and you got it and it said it cost them 20 to ship it you would be upset.

you can buy 70 pounds of bullets insured and shipped for 15 bucks with usps and its usually alot faster than ups/fedex. in many cases ups and fedex has usps do the local delivery if there isnt a depot close enough.

I did mail order shipping for a major internet company for 10 years. shipping is a big spot that companies make money
