I just checked the TOTAL postal rates for a one pound package and Paul you are right $11.70 by the time the fuel surcharge (77 cents), taxes etc are included.

I stand corrected, the standard $15 charge is not gouging like I thought.

My apologies to all, especially RW, and BTW I have no argument over the price of the knobs as I know RW has good prices, which is why that is where I look first, it was just the sticker shock along with shipping charges and taxes makes the knobs almost $25 each.
