Can't believe some of the rip off suppliers!
The knobs/locks were rusted into place on my awning. I started shopping for new ones. I found them! The knob replacements are about $8.00 a set. The shipping for the 5oz items costd about 14.00 to 18....

Spoiled.. There is no way anything like a knob can be shipped for a $1, period.
If you dropped a unpadded envelope into USPS, FedEx or UPS those knobs WILL either not make the trip and be lost or make the trip and be smashed all to pieces.
Even if the seller was to use USPS for say $2.35 postage they will have spent an additional $2-$3 for a PADDED ENVELOPE so even if they charged a flat rate of $7 or a surcharge they are barely recovering the costs of doing business via mail...
well I certainly have received a bunch of stuff lately in padded envelopes and it hasn't been smashed beyond recognition.
and ULine sells cases of 250 envelopes for $39.00.
it sounds like those deals on TV, buy one get another one free for just P&H. $10 for the item plus $8 PH plus another $8 = $26 for two.
