Subject: [CR]A little French Help (again)

I'm trying to communicate with a French ebay seller and I'm having little to no luck. My lack of French and his of english have proven to be, well difficult. I purchase a chain guard from him and he is asking for 21EUR shipping. A bit high. I've tried to explain to him that something like this should cost no more than 5-10 EUR by surface mail. Can someone help me put together a few sentences asking him:

"21EUR for shipping seems quite high. Can you please quote shipping costs for economy (surface) mail? I am in no hurry to receive the package and would like to save some money on shipping. Thank you"

I'm also tempted to tell him that I recently bought a lot of 6 chain- guard from another seller in france who's shipping quote is the same amount for his single item.

Thank in advance.
