Thanks RKnarr01.
I was just curious as to what the verbage meant. If they had simply said, "we're charging $30 for the box and packing material", I would have understood it. I ship things all the time and I know the costs of packaging can be expensive. It just looked a little weird to me thats all. I'm not in their neighborhood anyway, so "pickup" wasn't an option for me. I'm sure they're a highly reliable and dependable company, it was just one of those questions that pop into your head from time to time (along with all of the other voices). Thanks for the input !
