There should be no comparison in cost at all. Have you tried punching in the shipping yourself to see the honest amount it actually went up. I can not believe that price is honest inflation. could it be the plating outfit is "adjusting" the cost to their extreme benefit?

I stopped using my local UPS shop when an item I had weighed and priced in the morning cost got more expensive when I came back in the afternoon. This was many years ago.

I stopped buying from LMC mostly due to their shipping rates. They don't charge (or didn't) actual shipping cost. They play a game that prices shipping by value of the order. This gives them a way to make more profit off of shipping itself. They may lose on some shipments. But the things I have compared had them shining through as rip-offs
