 Sometimes if you contact the buyer and ask them nicely if they can add a
 cheaper shipping option they will oblige you, but some can't use UPS or
 FedEx for practical reasons (no drop-off point near them, for example).
 Bottom line though, you aren't going to be able to get something like this
 for less than $10 shipping. 
Tack on a extra 0. Only china gives under $10 shipping.
