I paid 58 dollars for shipping of 17 plants.
When I received them I noticed the shipping was only 17.60.
I emailed the seller to ask why there was such a large difference.

This is the reply that I got.

Well shipping is $10 for first plant and $3 for each one after. This covers shipping and handling/processing and I wish it said that on the auction. You have to take in account the orders have to be pulled, unpottedand dumped or dugand then washed and then boxed up so the shipping covers this not the actual shipping.   I have no way of knowing what the shipping will be before I ship as there are rate increase depending on where it goes and it would be impossible to try and figure that up for each person and then charge that. Some orders I actually lose money on with shipping.  Looking at quite a few of the other sellers on the auction they charge the same (and some even more) and you have had orders come from this same area with the same shipping so it should have been no surprise as to the amount charged.     

Does it really cost over 40 for this?
