I see the broken out shipping fee as an honest policy. This is very
common in business-to-business transactions, as businesses actually
understand the costs of doing business. You'll often see an item cost, a
flat handling fee, and the actual shipper's cost.

No. honest is what HF does ... a 5.99 "transaction fee" then shipping is
shipping.

Maybe they should tell you what they actually paid for the part as well?
