I would imagine UPS has a minimum charge, I doubt a smaller box would be any cheaper. I live 10 miles from the hardware store, so it would cost me at least that much to go get one, plus about 40 minutes of my time. I don't see the issue.

This is exactly right. I probably ship 5 boxes every day via UPS. If they'd put that fitting in a letter-size envelope and stuck a label on it, it would have cost the same. In fact, that price looks like they passed their UPS discount on to you. List price could have been $10 or more.
Sorry if 20 other people have said the same thing. I stopped reading after this reply.
