Sounds to me like YOU were sillier than THEY were - sure, you get whacked for $20

Ooooh, $3/ea instead of $2/ea.
Pretty silly to pass that up for the principal, especially when they were right - I
find VERY few companies that only ship out of warehouses that will let people pick
stuff up rather than ship.
