Cute bandana - absurd shipping costs

This bandana is adorable, I must confess. I have a pampered pooch who has many bandanas, and the price on this one is quite average and certainly not unreasonable to pay for a small square of fabric.After I ordered it, however, I was shocked to see the standard shipping fee for this one small square of fabric was not $1, not $2, not even $3 - no; the shipping for this item which cannot possibly weigh more than an ounce or two, is $9.40. Until somebody can explain to me the absurdity of this I have cancelled my order, and will not order anything from this company again.
