Thanks for the information! I called them and found out the rubber feet are sold in 4 only, and each of them costs $5. So it is over $30 including tax, S&H. I have to say awfully expensive for 4 small pieces of rubber.

$4.95 is Dell's min charge per item. Ace Hardware...
Don't bother buying them, the new ones will fall off in months as well.
Mine all fell off within months of purchase and it's even dangerous to your laptop as losing them means the CPU fan can't get enough air.
Worse if only some are missing, your laptop isn't supported correctly and may flex and cause problems like those seen on the Inspiron 5150 where the motherboard gets damaged and causes reboots when you touch the palmrest.
In my case I glued two desktop keyboard feet to the back of mine to elevate the back of the unit about 1/4 of an inch. The laptop runs cooler as a result but I guess I didn't do it soon enough as now I have the random reboot problem.
