Suggestions?
I’ve sold several items to be shipped that each weigh 80ish pounds. And shipping is killing my profit. Any of you guys have any suggestions?
EDIT: It is allowed to ask this question. 
Shipping shouldn’t hurt your profit.
Shipping is a separate cost, and if it’s cutting into what you make, then you’re doing it wrong.
Shippo, pirateship, stamps dot com, there are a ton of services out there that give you discounted shipping rates.

Are you not charging people shipping? What kind of product are we talking about?

This.
I sold two products yesterday - both are the same exact product but each customer had different shipping charges because, well they’re responsible for them.
One is going to Pennsylvania, and the cost was $15.19
The second one is going to Canada, and the cost was $58.06
I made the same exact amount for both sales as the cost of shipping is the customer’s responsibility
Using a shipping services allows you to get your customers the best rate possible

I have used PirateShip.com. Excellent! 
I shipped a package by UPS that would have cost $120. With PirateShip it was $58 ($13 of that cost was for being an irregular size) and I dropped it off at UPS prepaid.
