If they were crooks, they wouldn't tell you what the shipping charges were. They'd just let them come as a nasty surprise upon delivery. (That's illegal in most places, of course, but if you check closely you'll find that that's what "crook" actually means: someone who knowingly breaks the law. It *doesn't* mean "Someone who charges more than I think they should.") But since nobody is holding a gun to your head (pity, that), you are free to get your film elsewhere and ship it however you like. See? No "crooks" involved.

Added up, these are part of the product's cost. They can add that figure to the product price or the shipping price. Either way, the customer is going to pay. The company adds it to the shipping because the customer will often compare product unit prices and not the total cost including shipping. If the company did not "pad" the shipping figure, they would have to add the same amount to the product price. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida
