1. Why does it cost $7.85 to ship One 2mm Gold Cube Magnet, Ten 12mm Gold Cube Magnets, and a Gauss Starter kit to Massachuetts?

2. Could you mark with side is north?

3. Would seven pairs of magnets taped onto the edge of a ruler accelerate a single Steel Ball faster than a 7magnet Gauss Rifle

1. The United States Postal Service charges $5.85 to ship using
Priority Mail. The rest is what the fulfillment company we use
charges for warehousing, packaging, and billing.

2. We sell tens of thousands of magnets. Marking each one by hand
would cost a fortune. It is very easy to find the north end at
home.

3. I doubt if the configuration you are describing would accelerate
the ball at all. Most likely the ball would stay close to the magnets.

Thanks, although I will still test the config. I was just wondering.

Thank you very much
