When you take into consideration all of the transportation costs, tariffs/taxes, security, storage, labor, insurance, logistical engineering, etc $1.65 is dirt cheap.

depends which state but a "couple of states away like" utah or idaho using these figures is about double the shipping distance meaning a $2 diference instead of your fifty cents. That actually gives us a pretty good gauge of how much more it's costing - based on you information it's 4 times as expensive.
but it's still pissing in the wind without all the information.
I'm more shocked at your willingness to go against american principles of free enterprise and competition and support no bid contracts..
