As iritating as paying shipping gets, I can sort of understand that if the bolt I want isn't in their "normal" warehouse path that there are additional handling and shipping costs above the"normal" channel. If I can, I wait until I have several "odd" items to order so that the shipping charge in $/item improves. I also often order more than I need to have a bit in stock "for the next truck" or in case I drop one in the mud or failed to count correctly (or other excuses) or so the other inhabitants of the barn have access.
