Default $10 per cut?

Whether it's 24 gauge sheet or 3/8" plate, Discount Steel charges $10
per cut. Nothing about quantity discounts. They say they do machining
and forming, but there's no e-mail or regular address to you could
tell them what you want in writing. Only a phone number and a "special
instructions" box that seems to have no affect on the price when
filled out. Seems strange and overpriced. Shouldn't the price be
comparable to what lumber yards charge for cutting plywood? What
cutting charge should I expect from a local place when I buy one full
sheet of 20 gauge steel? If the $10 includes a set-up charge and
subsequent cuts are cheaper, it wouldn't be so bad.
