I can't say I have a lot of experience with shipping rates... normal ones, anyway. On Amazon I have a student account so I get free two day shipping (for now), and otherwise I'm usually ordering an import. I probably understand what a decent import shipping rate is better than local ones. :V
Have you tried using Overstock.com yet? Their shipping cost is usually 2.95 on an entire order (occasionally, it's $1.00), but I'm not positive if they have Prismacolor markers. If they do, I want to buy some. //laughs - but yeah, those shipping prices are bull. Reminds me of Barnes & Noble's online store. Same thing- 8 dollars for shipping! But I started using Thriftbooks, and so I've been so happy (they don't even have shipping prices- but the books are slightly used, and some recycled. Still- sexiest thing ever, //nerd).

Yeah, that's why I started sending my packages to people through this smaller shipping company and paying the media rate rather than flat rate.
Bazinga!

It'd be fine if you order lead weights... Yeah, robbed blind, indeed!
