$11 for shipping 10 grips???

What a rip off.

I don't think it would cost $11 to ship 100 grips.

Yes, but this is to avoid ebay charges, a common ebay technique.

I'm amazed he flat out tells the shipping.  Most of those people put it only in the shipping field and dont mention it anywhere else.

this was his response- i emailed him

I wish it was.  Check the pricing from UPS from 21220 to your address.  If someone buys 100 grips the shipping is only $15 in the 48-states.
 
Small shippments cost to much, I know, but they make the prices.
 
HUMM-i little white lie?

it would cost me less than $11 to send a 16 lb ball to his house

11 for grips is a little rediculous... I charge 20 for when i sell balls to cover ebay charges, which usually comes out to 6 or 7 bucks. That means I still might lose on shipping if I'm shipping cross country.
