$33.40 to ship a $2 note?

I have been working on my Zimbabwe note collection. A few days ago I ordered a note that was $2 with free shipping. I got it today in a Priority Mail Express envelope with $33.40 of stamped postage on it. Crazy. I can only think that it was uncancelled and reused. Even if this is the case wouldn't you save it for something else? Crazy. The stamps are hand cancelled now... I can't reuse them

Hey.. I have 3 of them

 

People sometimes buy stamps for much less than face value off eBay and use them to pay postage on packages. Still not sure why they picked express though.

 

I don't know. One regular stamp was all that was needed.

 

A note I paid $2 for...

 

But, but it says fifty thousand dollars.

 

He says the shipping cost $33.40.
He paid $2 for the note, with free shipping.
No one is spending $33 to mail something where they are
getting $2 total in return. So there is some foul play in the works.

 

There is something strange happening in mailing that.
