US postage is nuts. It's like $9.00 to $15.00; Express mail is a little cheaper.
Overseas: China Post incoming to US most of the time is 0. It' costs like $26.00 USD fpr me to mail a small parcel overseas, I just received my fist package from Sweeden and it cost me $16.00 USD. A free item for the price of postage.
When cost is the only parameter, free postage is possible at Digi-key.
I had a project, laundry filter, that I was doing for home and I needed multiple vendors
V1: An aquarium supply store
V2: The sock filter
V3: A special clamp and material to cut a gasket.
Had: 1/4-20 Tap, drill and clearance drill
V4: Appliance place
V5: local for various pipe/hose fittings
I also needed to use a lathe and drill press. The lathe option isn't available now. It tok a couple of iterations to get the right sock filter.
