My problem is how do you order something worth $2.50 when shipping is $20.

I just ordered 20 of them from Mil-Spec Monkey.  That makes the unit price $0.45, but you can buy a single for $.65.

Shipping via USPS was $2.00

BTW:  Why did I buy so many ... Hey, not only am I going to add them to my boot laces, I'm going to give them a try as quick line tensioners for my tent and tarp.  (I'll report back on whether or not this is a good use for them).
