I found a website that sells American Silver Eagle 1oz Bullion Uncirculated Rolls @ 21.21 per coin for a roll of 20 coins...

First and foremost... where did they get rolls of ASE's? I cant buy them on USMint.com...

Second, how can they sell them so much cheaper than the mint does!?
I can understand if they buy like hundreds of thousands and get a good rate... maybe?

The Mint has a dealer network for bullion sales. I'd assume these "wholesalers" can buy by the roll if they want. These are UNC rolls and with silver at about $17/oz, a dealer could buy from the mint at say $18/each (estimate) and still make a decent profit.

ebay has rolls of ASE for sale all the time. I bought a roll last fall for $320 and I'm glad I did!

Not sure how a "roll" is packaged today, but some I purchased in the late '80s and early 90's were in a square plastic tube with a green plastic cap imprinted with the treasury seal. The top coin toned very heavily over the 2 decades, which was a surprise to me.
