It costs them more than $4 just to make your order!


I suppose if you rock up to the counter in person and buy $4 worth of
components it is also going to be be just as expensive, but are they
going to tell you to "make a bigger order or p--- off"?

Company's like Mouser have special courier rates which don't cost them
more than a few dollars to send stuff locally in the US. They are even
making a profit on the freight so they are well and truly covering
their expense on packing and freight out of that $10.
