Wow.  I've been searching for a corner shelf unit and found exactly what I wanted at IKEA.  $39.99 ... great price, right?  Got to S&H and here's the total charge ... w/o tax = $199.99.  OMG.  So ridiculous.

Yikes! $160 shipping? Is it made of marble? What could possibly make the shipping fee so high?

I don't know.  I never ordered from them before so I don't get it.  And that wasn't even tax.

Look somewhere else for your shelf. I just placed an order for several sets of bath towels from IKEA. It took me 5 weeks to receive them. The shipping was a fair price but they tend to sit on your items until they feel like sending them. I won't order from them again. I'd rather drive the 4 hours and shop in the store.

Wow, that's nuts.  I thought it was bad enough when I paid $50 shipping at Ikea for something that cost $159.  I only decided to go with it because all of the similar items I found elsewhere where the same price or had awful ratings.  We do have a store a little less than an hour away but the item I wanted has been sold out for a long time and I didn't want to wait any longer.  They also drive you crazy with shipping updates once it's shipped.

Are you sure it's not the delivery and assemble fee?  You can pay for them to assemble it at a very high cost.
