If you want to save on the shipping, Just bunch up your orders.
Order 3 filters at a time instead of one at a time.
Elecraft has even combined my orders before to save my shipping cost.
Then need to change the line from "Shipping" to "Shipping and Handling"
The items do not Pack Themselves and the box does not address it's selfThey
have to pay someone to do that labor.

I find it a bit humorous that the subject invariably arising for a $200 (or
$1000 or $10,000+) item ends up being about chump change on shipping
costs. We’ll drop a bundle on something and then spend hours quibbling
about a few bucks on shipping.
At least I know I’ll get a box in the mail from Aptos :)
Right on Grant, I've learned a new word from the Elecraft reflector
