Good evening, Bryan.

Yes, unfortunately their website is something with which they may as well
not even have bothered. Some of the prices are absent, some are stated as
ranges like "$60-$80", and some like the Cadwelds they advertise as
"average cost". So, you need to call them up and jump through hoops to
get something as basic as a price. And there appears to be no way to
order anything on their website.

I much prefer to support and patronize companies that make an effort to
make the buying experience as convenient for their customers as they can,
for example DX Engineering has done a much better job. If I find that Ham
Radio Outlet in Salem, NH doesn't have anything like that in stock, I'll
no doubt order some from DX Engineering.

(Thanks, Shadow, for the pointer to DX Engineering.)

They also have a toll-free telephone number, if you need to nail-down price
& availability. I first dealt with them when I was searching for
compression insulators for a wire antenna (I didn't find them available from
other sources, including WireMan). On the items that others also handled
(antenna wire & coaxial cable) that I was looking for, they had the best
price. You can't have too many sources for parts!
