Yeah, that is the default for China. And keep in mind, nothing is guaranteed. Maybe I got lucky. Many of these China sellers (including this one, for smaller items) use a very inexpensive "e-packet" shipping process that goes thru China Post and then the US Postal Service. That does take a while. It might be that the 10-pack of toolholders is too big for e-packet. A google later.... yep, e-packet is limited to 4.4 lbs. http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abn/y11/m08/i31/s02 That is how so many china sellers can offer free shipping on small items.... > I'll get the collets from LMS on super Tuesday if history is any indicator. > Next week for these would sure be the icing on the cake.

If you get two or three people who want two or three holders each this might be an opportunity for someone to buy the 10-pack and split it up. If you only need two or three for this project I could probably ship you a couple of mine. I don't need all 10 right now. But I will want them eventually, so it would be a loan, not a sale.
