Importing is costlier than Amazon. What am I doing wrong?

[EsJay]

Looks like I have hit a roadblock! and looking for some advise.

I short listed 2-3 products which I would like to import and got quotes from suppliers including courier shipping for 20-25 sample quantity. . Total Samples shipment weight is ~11-12 Kgs/20-25 LBS. Amazon listed costs for these products are in the range of $18-$25

While per pcs cost itself seems to be competitive for sample quantity, courier (DHL/FEDEX) cost is what's killing me and effective cost just to get it delivered to my door is coming out more than items available on Amazon.

Is this normal for small quantity? Or am I doing something wrong?
