I've shipped to Germany and Hawaii and within the US. This sounds right. One thing I'll add after my last shipment:

I got a call from the hauler asking if I wanted it sooner but for an additional $100 or so dollars. Also, since I wasn't at the destination, they offered to bring it to where I was on leave/vacation also at additional cost. Ultimately I was able to coordinate for them to leave it with a covered parking facility at the airport of original destination city and I believe that was a bit more to deliver there.

It was all above board. The deviations from original delivery destination and time line was what incurred the additional $$. But in my experience, they were just trying to make it work out good for me.
