Then it shouldn't bother you, although I pity you those prices.
It does bother me, though. Most companies cut you a break on price
when you order large quantities. Given the "built-in" nature of
shipping costs at S@H, it only makes logical sense that they would
also. Maybe the reason they don't, or haven't thought about doing
it before, is that it is still fairly unusual for someone to call up
and order 30, 50, 150, or more of something. I know the last time I
ordered more than 50 of something it seemed to shock the lady on the
phone..
