There are "grades" of Amazon.
- sold and fulfilled by Amazon
- fulfilled by Amazon on behalf of partner
- fulfilled directly by Amazon partner
In some cases an item will be listed multiple times; the one that's Amazon-direct will indicate "eligible for free shipping".
In this particular case, it looks like a size problem rather than a weight problem.
If all else fails, search eBay, or order from the Northern Tool catalog and ship through ACE hardware (apparently that's a thing).
If shipping is expensive enough, fly to the nearest mainland airport and carry everything back as a checked bag. (It sounds insane, but there are some extreme cases where it's actually cost-effective.)
