Really? I looked at several items and it was as described. Did you scroll down further on the page? There are two choices, one has a picture of the actual ammo box and the other has a picture of a brown cardboard box which is the case. Click on the brown box image and there will be no shipping charge at checkout. If you click on the ammo box picture shipping will show up so that may be where the problem is. If you order correctly there shouldn't be a problem. I see no effort on their part to deceive anyone and if you called me a liar my reply would probably burn a hole in your screen. I thought she was quite restrained.
