Otherwise I would be doing what you suggested.

I honestly have probably never hit the 800 part order threshold, but I do try to make my orders as few and big as I can to maximize price break and shipping ecconomy (read that minimize cost per item in my stock).
It isn't necessary to hit any of the volume price breaks... however planning buying to do as much of that as practical for you saves you money in the long run.
Not to sound rude but complaining about spending $8 shipping to get a single 10 cents part here in a week and prefering to spend $1 on a local part that should cost 10 cents seems like a logically conflicted argument. So a cheaper alternative was suggested.
When it comes to anything new I am as cheap as they come, and proud of it!
