12x12 paper is just plain difficult to mail!

I just received an order from a popular online vendor and was very shocked to see she had mailed it media rate mail. She wrote on the box "books" & had Media Mail stickers all over it. I had no books or magazines in my order. I had ordered Spellbinders dies, sponge daubers, rhinestones, embellishments and 4 sheets of 12 x 12 paper. I didn't realize how expensive & difficult it is to ship 12 x 12 paper. But still, it really ticks me off since her shipping rates are, I think pretty high and she was ripping off the Post Office. Something I doubt her competitors do.
