Often, because of scammers, businesses will not ship things as non-trackable letter-mail anymore. And since companies like paypal and most credit card companies favor the purchaser, if the parcel does not make it, or the buyer claims it did not make it, even when the buyer specifies "no insurance/cheapest method", the seller is left holding the bag. As such, most sellers will only ship insured and trackable on the buyers dime.

Add to that the porch pirates, which has really taken off with the covid shutdowns, and it's another reason why sellers won't ship the cheapest method.

Also if purchasing from them, use their website and not from eBay. The EBAY prices tend to be higher and in US funds.

Thank you for the responses. It was their web site quoting that price.

I have e-mailed them requesting clarification.

Hi Neil

I have purchased from them in the past. No issues. Prompt service.

As for the shipping costs, it is as Rob says; they cannot accept the risk anymore.

They have confirmed that it is the tracking that is the expensive bit but I cannot justify $30.00 for 2 trade badges so unfortunately cannot proceed.

Maybe one of the guys from the Toronto area will volunteer to buy them in store, and then mail them to you for a couple bucks postage. Mind you, depending on where they are in Toronto, it could be $15 in parking to go to the store.
Edit: Had a look and it appears to be about a km from the 401, which has half the population of Canada drive along each day.
