I support @DiversityAndCmx here, and absolutely disagree with the OP.
When you buy something, you pay the price for it.
We do not believe in the Labor Theory of Value, nor in the Postage Theory of Value.

3/ When Joe Consumer looks at the $2.90 postage on the box and screams "HOW DARE YOU CHARGE ME $5.00 !?!?!?", he doesn't realize that the other $2.10 covers the box, the other unused boxes in the min order size, the shipping of boxes to your house, the packing labor, bubblewrap

4/ When a Kickstarter says "$10 + $5 shipping", the price is listed up front. If you don't like it, don't pay. You don't get to gripe afterwards (or you do, but you don't get anyone to care). Prices are set by supply and demand, not by summing costs.https://twitter.com/wraithburn/status/1044608465199616000 …

5/ Also, producers have to deal with known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. I set shipping to .eu very high, because I wanted to be covered if there was some surprise tax I had to pay. If I set it low, and there was, would you the consumer fork over more $$$ to cover it? No.
