I went to their website and here is a screenshot of what I found. It is $4 for 8 wings (math = good), $7 for 14 wings (math = good), then $13.99 for 22 wings (oops) and $24.99 for 44 pieces (really?). In other words, for $14.00, you can have two orders of 14 wings, 28 wings total, or one order of 22 wings for a penny less. I&#8217;ll take the extra 6 wings thanks&#8230;.unless you are too lazy to click Qty 2. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Um, aren&#8217;t you supposed to charge less per wing as the quantities get bigger?
