Cost of Shipping Records

Greetings,
I just ordered 10 records from Musicdirect. Their website says free shipping for $50 or more. I understand that since I live in Alaska that offer wouldn't apply. They (MD) charged me $147.00 for shipping 10 records. 
I really feel like they gouged me. I could see maybe $50 but not $147. 
Has anyone else experienced such hi and unfair shipping costs? 
Shipping cost prevents me from having more nice toys. 
I did bite the bullet and got the 10 records. I wasn't happy about it. 
Thanks for letting me vent.

I just received a email from Musicdirect. They apologized to me and said there was a problem with the shipping calculator. 
MD said they would refund me $72. 
I'm glad they fixed the problem. 
I will do business with them in the future. 
Thanks too all for their input.

Yes I did call them about the shipping cost. Told me that was the price. On my check out form there was only two shipping options 1. For $147 and 1. For $243. When I saw price I called them. 
Maybe next time I will have them shipped to a friend in the lower 48 and then up to me. 
I have shipped and received packages before but never got gouged like this.
