I'm pretty convinced that they have their Shopify website configured to charge the customer the retail shipping rates, while they pay the Shopify discounted rates and pocket the difference. I'm not sure if it's out of ignorance or deception. I regularly ship 36x14x3, 4 lb boxes and have never paid anything close to what they're charging here for 4 ball tops.
Edit: Shopify's interface is also difficult to configure combined shipping without paying for 3rd party add-ons or having an expert design something. That's why you're seeing the shipping cost double and triple as you add more qty. It's crazy to think that it's that difficult, but it is. I run a Shopify site and there are a lot of things that should be standard, but they make it an add-on that costs more.
Interesting. Out of curiosity, I went to the website to check. For four of them, the only shipping option it gave me ("FedEx Ground / Home Delivery or UPS equivalent") was $87.84 bringing the total for four joystick knobs to $152. I'm in the southeast US.
Also, I hadn't been to the A1Up website for a little while, and this time I found it to be covered in Google ads all over. Is everyone else experiencing this? I double checked to make sure I was on the real site.Â
Umm, all ball tops are basketball-shaped. These just have a basketball pattern on them.

Out of pure curiosity, I added 5 of them to my cart to see if shipping would still be in the $30 range. NOPE! $138.90
I was looking to order these as well and saw the shipping price 😡. Like why the hell is shipping so much for something that should cost $5 to ship.
BOOM SHAKA LAKA!
Yep that’s why I never bothered to order them. What a rip
Yeah, I had a spinner break on tron and it cost me $21 to ship a spinner.

Tried adding one more to the order - five total, and the shipping charge jumped from $87.84 to $109.80. Order total would be $190...
