I am trying to resell some foam panels and reselling them locally is not likely because it's a niche market, however they are worth $260. Whenever I look in to shipping them the cost is $160. The shipping container is 24"x24"x18" however the weight is only 10lb.

So I tested with reordering new foam panels -

https://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-Panels-Studio-Soundproofing-Wedge/dp/B07D98BNBB/

The box for these could be no smaller than 12"x12"x24". On USPS they want $70 to ship this box. On amazon they will ship it for free with a total cost of $36.

How the fuck is amazon shipping for such an incredibly low rate that we can not?

Because everytime I get asked by Amazon to do a survey, I bitch about what a shithole they've become allowing others to just "re-sell" something without adding any value to me, just cost. I lament about how they USED to just have the lowest price, but now I just use them for reviews, then buy from a local store for a much lower price and support a local business that pays their people livable wages and allows them time to do things like take a piss and eat a lunch.
