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.

Good news indeed OP
Still spendy compared to what media mail would have been but much better in your pocket for sure!

That Is ridiculous and you should call MD back and insist on a refund.
How did they actually arrive would be also be of importance?
Was it express or good old ground or media mail?
Ask them to show you THEIR actual shipping cost!
My daughter is attending Alaska Pacific University and in Anchorage and we regularly send her stuff via USPS both regular and media mail and yes it is slightly more than mainland usa but $147 for 10 records?
Crazy and greedy.
