I use nylon tips because I find they wood tips chip real easy ( 2 or 3 a night) and get flat spotted and then sound kinda dead

Not sure where you got those prices from, perhaps that's from the exchange rate? In which case.. that is a bummer. But those certainly are not the prices here in America from CDX.
24 pairs is $99, says right on the front page. At $1.50 extra per pair for nylon tips, that is $36. $99+36= $134 for TWENTY FOUR PAIRS.
Pretty basic math. No idea why shipping to you would be $70, that seems very off.
Tips chip from bad hits. Period. No if ands or buts about it. It's a common problem - You are chipping tips because you are catching rims, edges, etc
You need to address fixing your technique, not mask the problem with a bandaid.
It's not like myself, and everyone else, gets the magic "no chipping tip" batches of sticks.
