I dont know about your coutry but probably is going to pay. The only chance you have is because it is only 1 item, and usualy they charge for more than 1 item in the package because it indicates a bulk buy.
My advise is pay a bit more and send with registed mail so even if the package get lost you will receive the money from its contents…
