It's because they are charging you for half a pound on an envelope (Using priority service). If you use economy it charges you a pound for the envelope. Yes, its weird but that's how it works. More on reddit.com

UPS is the same price. I can't believe Ferrari charges so much. Don't they know I'm just some average person and their car shouldn't cost $300,000. How dare they expect me to pay that. 🙄 There's no way you were given a 2 week transit time unless it's going to some small town far from any major city. The FedEx employees were completely out of line judging you and making an assumption that the cost was expensive. For all they know, $300 might be pocket change for you. More on reddit.com

That’s not out of line. Pricing is determined by how far it has to fly, and how difficult it is to finalize delivery. Not that it’s just a piece of paper. You’re paying for air fuel and countless people who have to handle it to get it to your location. The more it needs to be handled the higher the price. This is not the same service as the post office where you just put some stamps on it. Also if you could trust your post office in your country and you didn’t mine waiting 4-6 weeks to get it you would have probably used them. You’re paying for an expedited service with tracking.
