It's not weird at all, especially when shipping a reptile since there are sellers whose "shipping" includes fees for materials. Also, shipping costs go up the further the box travels - I recently paid $78 to have a young Tarahumara boa (so quite a tiny snake) shipped to me from CA. So, if a seller advertises an "all inclusive" price that's a more attractive ad, as there are no surprise fees once I agree to the purchase.
