According to recent experience, that's in the usual ballpark. I had about 20 pounds of ammo shipped from an auction house for around the same. One bad one was over $21 for shipping a single box of 50 Norma .30 Luger rounds to me, which I had won for under $20. They claimed it was what Fed-Ex had charged them--inflated, they said, because they'd called it ammo to the shipper, who tacked on a surcharge. This, in comparison to another house that charged $5 for sending two boxes.

I remember a post that detailed somewhat the comparisons among all the shippers, does anyone remember where it might be?

Also, has anyone used DHL for shipping/receiving anything?
