I don't know. Maybe the guy I spoke to at Calmini didn't have a clue and just pulled a number out of the air (or somewhere else...). If that's the case he is not doing a great job representing his company. I just got a 90# parcel shipped from Nebraska to MD for about $30. If it turns out to be less, (even $100 I could swallow), I'm still in. If anyone has any expertise in this area I'd like to hear from them.
