One other suggestion is that perhaps the £3.50 is also an incentive to place higher value orders. It may be there to actively discourage people from ordering one off small parts, which would be a waste of their time. Price can be used to be a disincentive too.
I like SJS. I like that they are not engaging in the race to the bottom that has decimated bike shops. They also pretty much always have what I need.
Without the race to the bottom, a more local friendly bike shop might have stayed open and would have given you the part for free because you buy stuff from them all the time instead of online.
Also given your propensity to post about various expenditures and subsequent reputation for doing do, moaning about £3.50 for postage is not your best look.
