I agree, shipping cost sounds high.
I usually try to find a drop on Ebay when I'm looking for short pieces like that.
I just started checkout on my cart at speedymetals and they want $46.00 for my order, which also seems really high to me. I don't recall paying such high shipping in the past with them, might have to switch to a different dealer...
Just created the same order at OnlineMetals to compare.
SpeedyMetals:
Sub Tot: $132.62
Shipping: $46.46
Sales Tax: $0.00
Total: $179.09
OnlineMetals:
Sub Tot: $209.77
Shipping: $33.08
Sales Tax: $18.21
Tot: $261.06
The biggest variance in price was this;
SpeedyMetals 1.5" x 36" 1144 Stressproof: $44.61
OnlineMetals 1.5" x 36" 1144 Stressproof: (or equivalent): $96.56
I'm not making spaceships, I will take the generic 1144 for less than half cost...
Neither company offered USPS for delivery at checkout.
YMMV
