Quoted from Kerry_Richard:He got the shipping down to just over $200/each.
I'm 'group shipping' 2 MM-black to our local freight terminal (most likely Tracy). The docks are open 24/7 and we pick them up at our convenience. The last time we shipped 2 and picked them up at the dock (AC/DC BIBLE) it was $322, or $161 each. I don't have a current quote on shipping (yet).

Ask you distributor to get a shipping quote to the nearest freight terminal. I guarantee they have one in the Bay Area. You would most likely need to pick up all pins at the same time, since they are coming as a single shipment. Freight companies won't let you take part of a shipment off the docks, unless you sign for the whole load.
It's easy with 2 pins, as they fit in a pick-up. Multiple pins may be harder to coordinate, unless you rent a large truck or trailer.
The dock gives you plenty of room to inspect the shipment for damages. If you have any damage, the claim forms are right there. Picking up at the dock also reduces the number of times the pins are moved. FYI, the Tracy dock is YRC (Yellow Freight).
