Depending on the size of the compressed pump, it can easily be $30+ just by virtue of the dimensions. When at all possible, ask them (the warranty company) to send you a call tag, and charge you for shipping--their corporate shipping account gets much better rates than you.
As for finding strange sized parts, stop in a welding (gas) supply shop, who have a bevy of different compression fittings.
