There may be handling charges involved as well. I used to audition cables through lending library at Cable Company, no expectation this was a free service.
Try returning audio purchase from private individual, doubt you'll fine much luck here.
I’d say @emilis likely correct about the @kamoss1 post since that’s standard practice. I would have expected at least $40 to be deducted for any pair of speakers shipped, even those small ones mentioned.
