On rereading their price list, it would appear that "wholesale" and "list" are misnomers. They may have a special reduced price list for multiple case lots for hobby shops. A case comes with 12 pieces each 35 inches long for the "wholesale" or case lot price. If you want less than a case lot, the individual pieces are available at list price divided by 12 for each piece. For instance a case of ho road bed 1/4 inch thick is $25.10, but less than case lots will cost $3.77 each piece. In addition you need to add shipping for your area. Shipping is $8.00 or 10%-15% depending on where you live whichever is greater. A case of the roadbed shipped to either coast will cost an additional $8 for shipping because 15% of 25.10 is only $3.77. If I read the price sheet correctly, a single piece of roadbed will cost $11.77 shipped to either coast. I don't know the exchange rate for our Canadian friends.
