Yeah, what is that, 75% of the cost of the part to ship a piece of aluminum about as long
as my thumb and about the thickness of three quarters. Really?
The part is by made by Wheels mfg; they're the go-to for replacement hangers. I'd use a FLBS but this isn't a part that any shop would stock, It's a special order. (And my whole point with this post was to note - as you did - that there is a huge discrepancy in the cost of shipping, so be advised!

I had to replace a spoke. $11 each for direct replacement.
Eleven dollars for a steel spoke.
