Let me make sure I understand. You know where to get them, but don't want to pay $4.95 shipping for them? I really don't mean to offend, but isn't that just a tad cheap? 
Anyhow, here you go:

$2.50 per cap and $1.31 shipping.

Agree.
Or sellers who won't ship at all to Hawaii. Grrrr. One of the reasons that Amazon does get more of my business these days; no no-ship policies on books anyway or ridiculous shipping costs.
Or the sellers who ship by USPS Priority Mail but who won't ship to Hawaii. Why? It's the same price.
OK. Sorry. Back OT....

You can get a set of six (two of each kind) directly from Lenovo for $9.99+tax and free shipping.

Now that UPS offers "ground" from the mainland to Hawaii, I'd hope things have changed a bit for the better. But it's not my problem any more . . .

I ended up ordering some caps from Lenovo, and the free shipping ended up being a better bargain than I expected. Even though the order said "UPS Ground", they shipped it UPS air directly from China:
