    Ok, I'm a little confused about this. I too have the Stuller's metal
    catalog and I'm putting together my second order from them. I have to
    say that at no time was I confused about their pricing. Different
    items have different prices, nothing unusual about that. So why would
    you assume that you'd get to lump it all together at the end and ...
    what, average the pricing out? 

    Obviously the manufacturing cost of different items is going to be
    different.  Where did you get the impression that there was a bulk
    deal waiting for you at the end of it? 

    No offense but it sounds to me like you assumed something,
    incorrectly, and ended up getting nipped in the wallet for your
    error. And how is that Stuller's fault? Frankly I can't imagine how it
    could be. 

    For what it's worth I've dealt with other metals suppliers and they
    mostly all follow the same "buy more of X get a better price on X"
    structure. Again, no fault on Stuller's part IMHO.
