I haven't played or bought magic in about a year and was thinking of getting back into the game so I went to tcgplayer where I used to buy most of my singles from and noticed that the shipping costs are absolutely insane now, driving up the price of cards way above their market price, how long has this been going on and is there a better site I can go to buy my cards now?
The shipping costs are set by the vendor, not the website. Obviously there are ways around this - look specifically for cards being priced below market but with high shipping, then buy multiple cards from that vendor to spread that shipping price over 20-30 items.
TCGDirect you get free shipping over $20, and they all come in one package. They cost a little more than market, but it's a good way to do it. That's my preference.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Double-check the "shipping country". A few weeks ago I noticed that mine was set to "Germany" and that was causing the cost of shipping to rise dramatically.
Thanks.
