They quoted me about $110 and I had initially found rates that were about half of that. Keep in mind that this is a very small lightweight item - weighs less than 0.5kg and can fit in 30cm x 10cm x 10cm box or even an envelop. So again, not exactly enormous amounts we are talking about. It was more the idea of it that rubbed me the wrong way.
