does this seem like a reasonable shipping quote ?

recently noticed an ebay seller in florida had a hard to find bottle I had been looking for but he doesn't ship to Canada . as to how it got to florida one can only speculate but considering all the "snow birds " from Canada who retired down there I'd suspect one of them did

so I contacted him to try and see if I could change his mind , he asked me how much I'd be willing to pay for shipping , I said $20

then he sent this reply

Priority mail to your zip code for 2 pounds is $35.40 US dollars.
I only ship priority USPS because its insured and also for items over 1 pound.
If you have a friend in the states within driving distance you could arrange something with them but it must be a US address. And they have to use their Paypal to pay me.

( $35.40 US would be around $40.00 Canadian as our dollar not worth as much is US dollar , I though that seemed way too high and why would it have to be shipping priority ? isn't there cheaper options ? )


his quote seemed really high is there any cheaper options ?
