Puerto Rico shipping charges, why so High?

I just did a comparison for the shipping charges of same 4 items between Marine Depot and other retailer; the MD shipping charges were $129.33 vs $36.40 of the other retailer, both via USPS Priority Mail.

I'm a supporter of MD but a $95 shipping difference is excessive. I would suggest a revision of how the shipping charges are calculated. Also I haven't seen the use of USPS flat rate boxes in shipping, that could help lower shipping charges. Just a couple of suggestions because I would like to continue buying from you.

Hey locofish, thank you very much for your feedback and insight on the shipping costs of other online stores. We'd be happy to match and beat the prices of these other stores. Just compare our total price—item price + tax (if applicable) + shipping & handling—to the total price of other online stores. If you find a lower price, we will match the price and refund 10% of the difference.
