The price of shipping 6 chainguards might be the same as shipping one, based on the size of the box. Most carriers charge by dimensional weight, not pure weight by itself.

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.
