Yes, I'd like to pay nearly $200 for shipping of a $30 thing. Or free shipping that will arrive on the same day.

Isn't this rather c/softwaregore?

    If you live in a major metropolitan center, anything shipped from relatively close will get to you next day, so changing the service level doesn't matter.

    Higher tier service is only useful when shipping longer distances or to areas that aren't shipped to frequently enough to have a nearby hub.

    In this case the seller probably offers free basic shipping regardless, and charges for other options, regardless of the buyer's need.
