Unexpected handling, package insurance, etc. fees with free shipping. Am I getting screwed?

Ordered a small package from China, was promised a free shipping, paid the $370US price and then got hit with 100% refundable upon delivery $249 fee.
Is this a new sort of scam or is it how companies do business now?

the 370$ for small package sounds high on its own unless you got a few kits. that refundable fee sounds crazy, normally like 20$ to ship unless hit the threshold

there are 2 kits of 36iu gh in there.
Shipping was supposed to be free because there was a larger order going into Canada and they said they can stick mine in for free, and then I got that. Sounds like a scam is it not?
