That's not too far for something like that. Most places deliver within a 25 mile radius for free and then charge a few dollars per mile past that. I think I'm 20 miles from Emerson.
Kinda funny that whoever made that magazine is a poor as well. Akshually they are probably just retarded. It probably cost more to coat that polymer bulgy to look like bakelite than it would have to just use an actual bakelite.
