Ditto what J Bunker and J Cummins said on shipping costs. 
After reading the objections to combining the shipping with the 
handling I did wonder, well why not, if people are suspicious about 
it. But after figuring out the paperwork, which would seem simple to 
change, it does create one or two more steps in each order, and these 
steps add up. I also realized that for some the costs might be 
slightly greater but not by much, leaving me with the more 
predominant question of instead of 'why not'? rather- Why? (Why 
separate the two?)
Also, UPS is much cheaper on long distance larger packages. Otherwise 
I do use USPS, whichever is cheaper. USPS has gone automation crazy 
by the way, and wants all businesses, no matter how small, to use 
their software and keep extravagant records, and refuse to do pick 
ups in convenient locations.  I think the time is prime for 
competition to start moving in on UPS which it is in the Midwest with 
a company called Speedee, they can deliver to the four state area 
here in two days, and usually overnight. They're fast, friendly, 
efficient, and accomodating. I think that UPS' days are numbered if 
companies like Speedee stay in the game.
