I spotted a Ohana Gig bag to fit my Ohana SK-21 (Sopranino) at Ukulele World. The price was $15.82 (kind of an odd price). When I went to order it online, the shipping charge came to $12.20 (almost the price of the case itself). We are talking about a very small soft case to fit the tiny Ohana Sopranino. Weight is almost nothing and it certainly can be folded into a small box or a large padded envelope. As you can read below, I also mentioned that I was going to post the outrageous shipping price to members of this forum. I believe members of the forum should be aware of questionable pricing practices.
Roy fired back an email, accusing me of trying to "blackmail" him for simply posting this for members of this forum to read. Too funny.
Below is the email if you wish to read it:

Your shipping charge is almost as much as the bag. I'll have to post this on the Ukulele Underground forum to let others know of the outrageous shipping cost you are charging.

Here's Roy's Reply to me by email:
"We ship US Priority Mail 2-3 business day.
The bag goes in a shipping box 15" x 12" x 2"
Do whatever you wish on notifying anyone of anything....
We do not respond to blackmail"
