did you select over-night shipping?
maybe it was $21 for the syringe and shipping?

a syringe can fit into an envelope package right? i got something pretty large in a large envelope from the US and it says 4.10$ so how much will it cost to ship a syringe?

do you really think it's wise to ship a sryinge in an envelope? I know one company here does it, but I don't like that practice.
so much for being discrete. 
your syringe should most certainly be in a box. one large enough to hold the necessary customs paperwork/ label/whatever.
Sporeworks is as professional as a company can be. if you really have a problem with them, you should send them an e-mail and I'm sure they'll handle it appropriately.
They don't jack their prices to offer free shipping, and I doubt they jack their shipping prices either. Whatever it costs to package and ship your order is what you should be charged, and I'm sure that's what'll happen.
now is $21 that price? I doubt it. But neither is $2. I know that for sure.
I know for sure they answer all of their emails and concerns, so I know for sure you never brought this up with them. best bet is to do so, then you never would have had a need for this thread.
psilocyber is the name here on the shroomery, but I bet an e-mail to their company would fetch a quicker response.
I'm not intending to harsh on you, but come on.

did you check other vendors that were stateside and check the shipping out with them? Sporeworks is the best of the best.

Maybe, you should just order prints.

Desiccation? Do you mean discussion?
Also he IS trying to help. His post was in fact quite smart. Prints are as thin as paper and can be shipped in a plain envelope for under $2 most likely.
You shouldn't tell people who have been registered on this site longer than you to stay the fuck out of anything.

Just as a point of reference for shipping costs. I am in Canada and recently ordered two package from different vendors. A book and 2 lbs of material from Mushroom People and paid $25 for shipping (Postage was $21.50 on the box). I also ordered from a non-sponsor some other items and the shipping cost was $19.90 which was the postage on the box.
Not sure if Canada was your location, but an idea of international shipping costs that I have paid recently.

We're very sorry the shipping cost seems excessive or unreasonable, but rest assured we only charge you what it costs us to ship the merchandise.
We've been shipping this type of product around the world for nine years. In that time we've gathered a fair amount of experience on the best and most reliable methods for transit. As a result we only offer methods with at least some "reliable" method of tracking and good track records of high delivery rates. For this reason we utilize both UPS (which can be very expensive for international transit) as well as Priority and Express Postal Mail (through the USPS).
We will not put a plastic, liquid-filled plunger into an envelope for international transit. This is just asking for it to be broken, cracked, or otherwise compromised. Spore syringes must be shipped in a suitable, small, and secure cardboard box. If you desire an item packaged in an envelope, you will need to restrict your order to spore prints.
For our postal mail rates we offer both Priority and Express services. These are very reliable services. For our domestic customers the shipping charge for a Priority Mail package at the lowest end is $5.25. For our international customers it can range from $20+.
You can double check the rates charged to us by the USPS by visiting their website at www.usps.gov
If you're interested in saving some bones on your order, I'd suggest that you take a look at the "Our Choice Special" we offer. Spore syringes for $9.50, or a four pack for $34 (plus shipping costs of course).
We are always willing to make special arrangements if you desire the package to be shipped by First Class International Mail. However, we can offer no replacement guarantee if the package is lost, misplaced, seized, or stolen during transit. The rate for this package to the UK will still be $8 even via First Class. Please PM, or email us if you wish to make these special arrangements.
