Is there an easy explanation for that? For example aluminum round rod, 6061 and 2024.
Now, both include shipping charges on the order page, great for very small orders :D
McMaster Carr shipping seems weird. The initial shipping charge for one rod is less, but jumps when another (same length) rod is added. It didn't jump like that when adding same length flat bar pieces (prior order).

Midwest is cheaper than Online Metals. By a lot.
Ebay can be a good resource for small pieces although many Ebay sellers
are charging close to retail metal yard price for their drops now.
That's ok if they have the size you want, but kind of a pain if you
still have to preprocess it.

What about two pieces, 1 foot (cold rolled, 6061 and 2024) 7/16 inch diameter solid round rod for less than $20 (total, including tax and UPS ground)?

Huh? What are you asking? If I will go to their websites, plug in your spec, and do all possible order configurations and report back to you at
your direction and convenience with a concise report on all possible
options in triplicate with third party verification?
This is the reason I sometimes just keep scrolling even when I know I
can help somebody. I actually like helping people, but when you GIVE somebody all the information they need to help themselves and they effectively say, "do it for me," it kind of ruins it.

That's a "straw man".
It's a simple request, nothing like that.

See if you weren't the exact kind of thoughtless and selfish jerk I
pointed out your response would have been more like, "Yeah, sorry.
Thanks for the help. I'll check it out." You are a typical anonymous keyboard wannabe. Safe behind your screen in your mommy's basement or
maybe in the basement of Online Metals.
I didn't shill for anybody. That is a bald face lie. I own my own
business that has purchased both small and medium size orders and price checked many times from all of these vendors over the course of many
years. I shared my first hand experience for your benefit. I provided valuable feedback based on your comments that unless your not only a
selfish thoughtless jerk, but also grossly incompetent, you could easily check for yourself. You sound much more like a shill for Onlinemetals.
 I have no stake in any of those vendors. Ask them. I post with my
real name, and I buy from whomever gives me the best service 1st and
price 2nd. Not from some online abuser who says they will also quote
orders and then the quote comes in higher than their advertised prices.
Yes I am an asshole too, but unlike you I am not a selfish and
thoughtless anonymous product shilling asshole.
If anything you have nudged my ambivalence about OnLineMetals towards
dislike because they are associated with you. Your shill attempt failed catastrophically.
