They offer the exact same cable at roughly 1/2 the price of the benchmark. Can't say anything as to their shipping policy/rates. I linked to the 3-ft black version but as you'll see you can order practically any color/length combo.
A number of years ago I bought a bunch of bulk L-4E6S (red and blue for r/l) and 4S11 speaker cable (grey only option) from Markertek as well as a number of sets of the Neutrik gold-pin XLRs as well as a few of the terrific Canare F-09 RCA connectors and rolled my own XLR->XLR and RCA->XLR cables.
I used Markertek assembly for 3 Canare/Neutrik digital cables: 110ohm DA-206 XLR->XLR, 75ohm LV-61S RCA->BNC, 75ohm LV-61S RCA->RCA (Canare RCAP-C4A 75ohm rca + Canare BCP-A4 bnc).
I use generic gold-plated double bananas on the 4S11 speaker cables.
They've all performed flawlessly for well over 10 years in my system,

Thanks Meisterkleef - but what did you change them for, and are the new cables any better - the XLRs in particular?

I had been using Monster IC/SCs in my previous all-RCA unbalanced system. If I recall the Monster only had a single conductor + shield so couldn't be used in a XLR-> XLR balanced cable. The Canare/Neutrik analog ICs ended up being so good I eventually went with their digital and speaker cable products as well.
