That is strange. I called to find out about a different order, when I saw on
their site that the 6433 I ordered went from $15 when I ordered it, down to
$6.50. When I mentioned this, the women on the phone said she would issue me
a credit for the difference.
I wish I could have , or should have origanlly ordered more.
