I could not find that either but noticed a search box there so entered 
"shipping" and found this:
==============================
FEDEX is our EXCLUSIVE carrier. There is a minimum charge of $25.00 that 
covers most Prototype orders. In some rural areas the only delivery 
service available is two-day. Check with your FedEx rep at 
1-800-GO-FedEx (US and Canada only).

If you are in the N.A.F.T.A. zone, there will not be any duty charges or 
brokerage fees on your shipment if FedEx is used.

NOTE: If we ship your order to you using your FedEx account number we 
will charge a $5.00 handling fee to your invoice
==============================

I generally add on US$25 to their quoted price to cover the shipping.  I 
have ordered numerous proto boards from them for work.  Most orders have 
been $50 to $100 and boards come back in two days.  It definitely jump 
starts projects!  Plus for a business, it's nice to have test fixtures 
and small one-off projects on a pcb to show customers.  But they do seem 
to be moving in the wrong direction with their pricing...
