Friend in another country needs to send me a package, why does it cost so much?

Specifically through DHL/FedEx and all that?

My friend in Poland has a package that belongs to me. It has odd dimensions (10x15x150cm), its weight is about 3 to 5 kg and I need to get it here in Belgium.

I called DHL, and they gave me a price of €274. Did a quick price check on the FedEx website, filled out the dimensions, weight and addresses...boom, €220. I must be doing something wrong here, because surely these prices are too outrageous? This is my first time doing this, though, so I'm basically asking and wondering, what the fuck is going on?

Can anyone help me out here?

Wrong forum. Damnit.
