Hello Alex, I apologise that you did not receive what you were expecting. I have checked your order, and it appears that you ordered a Rustic and Smooth sample in Rustic Pine. We do offer a variety pack that showcases our five wax finishes, as well as two types of samples in Pine and Oak. It seems that you may have ordered the wrong samples for your needs, but we have fulfilled exactly what you ordered. Regarding the cost, most of it is for shipping. As a small business, we strive to offer our customers the best deals, but we are constantly reviewing the market to ensure the best experience for our customers. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
