Extravagant shipping charge


I purchased an item and already paid for the price.
The description says that the shipping cost will be determined later. I did not ask for the shipping before I made the payment. (Doh!)
The item weighs 55lb, and it is about 17x17x10 size. The shipping box will be about 20x20x15, and the total weight would be close to 60 lb.
For UPS shipping from Arizona to Michigan, the seller wants $150 for the shipping. When I calculated UPS shipping, it is less than $60. Obviously, the seller is trying to make a huge profit from shipping.
Any suggestion to how to deal with this situation?

Thanks.

Try shipping large speakers with insurance!! Wow and I've passed on many a nice pair of used speakers as the seller wouldn't deal with the hassle of shipping on their end.
And it seems everyone in my zip code loves Bose speakers. Not that there isn't anything wrong with Bose speakers : )
I learned my lesson too - just paid $60 shipping for a cable.  Will only buy once I have shipping costs.
Just bought 100’ of 12-3 AWG cable. Paid $12 for shipping WA. to OH. Go figure?

I just deleted my cayin MT35 listing on Ebay,,Had $150 ship fee for the 25 lb amp, Now wait one minute,,I had the amp priced at $375,,BRAND NEW,,sells for $700 + $150 ship from china,,, I paid him $650 + $150...
So yers and no, Is $150 exxessive? Depends on the price of the unit,,If the unit is price at a  Black Friday 50% off price, as was my Cayin MT35, $150 ship is a  GREAT DEAL. 
After 3 weeks on ebay,,I knew no one was going to buy duev to ~~$150 ship!!!!!,  who is he trying to rip off, NOT ME!!!~~~,,so i had to delete ad, and will start alllll overrr once agin ina  few weeks/months at the CORRECT listing price. 
$400/$50 ship, 
It will sell in a  few days at that price. 
FEDEX i noticed has gone wayyyyy up on ship fees, UPS is a bit more reasonable. 
I think it depends on which FEDEX store, one uses, a  FEDEX store on Veterans here in New Orleans wanted $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ fora   small rug I was shipping. I should have gone to the main FEDEX station, where i shipped a huge rug 2 yrs ago for under $100. 
I hate shipping US PS, as they mishandle items. anyway, hope that helps clear up your  Q. 
I listed my Cayin super low and ship super high, to make  a few bucks off ship fees,. = Won;'t work, Folks think I was trying to pull one over on them = rip off.
