actual shipping costs plus a reasonable handling fee, than to have it all

I always try to do price comparisons using the total cost of the order
when
I buy something and am considering having it deliverd via USPS or UPS or
other carrier.

I believe you have th ecorrect resolution to the problem.  Economically
punish companies tha tengage in such activities.

Wishing you the best,
