In the OP the post cost quoted and paid was $25.
Plan bulbs must be signficantly bigger in other states than they are in Victoria.
I guess it depends on the bulbs, which from memory, the OP didn't mention. My grape hyacinth bulbs range from tiny, to what I'd class as small. My mini daffodils I'd class as small. My freesias are small. My Crocus are small. My tulips range from tiny to medium. My jonquils and full size daffodils I'd class as medium to large. My Red Hot Pokers are medium. My Arrum lillies are large. My Asiatic lillies are medium to large. My Gladiola's range from small to large. My Naked Pink Ladies are huge. My neighbours Agapanthus bulbs are huge..By huge, I am talking 500+g each.
I am guessing by the weight the OP mentioned that she hadn't bought Pink Ladies or Agapanthus. Some of my larger bulbs, even though they are large, they aren't very weighty, especially when they are dormant. Their weight can reduce by half when dormant.
The point I'm trying to make is, even though the weight was only 1.2kg, the volume of the bulbs may not have fit into a 3kg satchel unless they were thrown in without anything to protect them. I'm guessing the buyer would have been pretty miffed if they were sent unprotected in a plastic bag and arrived all squished or damaged in some way.
