My kit was:

• Green 2 pocket folder
  
• 10"x10"x6" corrugated shipping box
  
• Instruction sheet
  
• 2 small bags for samples (about a pint each)
  
• Questionnaire for the lab to identify samples
  
• Questionnaire (1 for each sample) to send to Farm Bureau detailing garden sites
  
• postage paid envelope pre-addressed to Farm Bureau
  
• Prepaid UPS shipping label

I had to box my own and send it via US Mail.

I can see now why yours cost so much. I just strolled into the Extension Office picked up my instructions and a sample bag. Filled the bag with my sample and mailed it off.
