That's about par for the course sadly. What bumper are you trying to get? The best thing to do honestly is just watch CL and be patient 
I'm really good at one of those things, and I'll give you a hint... it requires the internet

OEM weighs 44 lbs and they are rather bulky.
Would you send it across country for less than $200?

As someone who works in shipping hell yes I'm complaining. it should be no where near that expensive. Granted it is bulky it's not very heavy. After some research I'm going to reach out to one of the carriers the company I work for uses. Harley I shot you an email

Just throwing this out there, I ship a lot of stuff for work, heavy bulky items at times. I was using this nice little shipping center that would give you several prices from USPS,UPS,FedEx,so forth, I usually chose UPS it was usually the cheapest but still rather expensive. Our company finally gave me an ups acct number to just bill through the co acct,this place could not use the acct number because it was an independent owned store, so I had to go to a UPS store, the price was a 1/3 of what I had been paying. Just last week I shipped a 90lb item about 5ft long, UPS 2 day ground insured across 6 states $51. At the convience ship place it would have been $150 plus. On the other hand our company ships out parts, they include packaging and time to that shipping fee, so that drives the price up to

Do you know someone who works at body shop, they have local vendors they buy aftermarket parts from, they may be willing to order you a bumper for a few dollars above their cost. Same with a lot of salvage yards, if they don't have it they have aftermarket vendors. Some of the aftermarket stuff is good stuff.
My paintable primer aftermarket bumper was $149 at the local body shop, no shipping and he's going to paint it for me $75 and it weighs as much as the chrome bumper

martinsautoparts on ebay. $196 free shipping. Bought one from them three years ago for $165. No problems. Not show car quality chrome, but most people will not notice.

Will be removing mine on my newly acquired 2k 4wd and replacing with a bumper/brush guard combo. Going to be putting it up on my local CL when that happens. Hope there's a demand locally for it!
