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.

Has MD been doing that for 30 years?

Greetings 
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.

Thats a welcome outcome @joenies I'm glad MD did the right thing. I generally find them a very fair firm to deal with, they're reversed orders I've made in error for me before now (even after they ran the card) and also dealt with these sorts of shipping issues when they've arisen. Pity these sorts of bugs seem to occur more often than with other sellers but I've no reason to believe it's anything deliberate

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