Excellent. I can't get over how hard this information has been to come by in the past.

It's always a ridiculous guessing game of LxWxH with penalties over Y dimensions total, with weight and shipping speed as confounding factors.

Then the calculus changes totally if you manage to fit the item into a slightly smaller box.

You have to juggle 3+ websites, entering a bunch of information that shouldn't really be relevant, to get to a cost number.

Then you go to ship something and the cost STILL is totally different from what the website said it would be.
