Many times the UPS listed weight is not accurate on the tracking site. I recently received a motorcycle stand that weighed 35 pounds and cost me $44 to have shipped. The tracking site said the package weight was 11 pounds.

UPS goes more by dimensions than weight. They also give very large discounts to volume shippers, so they will discount the weight, but not the size on oversize packages - this is why you will see an oversize box that weighs 20+ pounds only billed for 10 pounds.

Shipping is not cheap. I sent a 12x14x65" box UPS recently - it cost me $31 so I don't think GSP is far off.

The freight charge from China is built into the model price.
