Some places the shipping charges are right there, eg Ebay. Other
places, you can certainly estimate the online shipping charges
from experience and if you really want to find the exact shipping

IDK what shipping charges even apply. Typically a pro who orders
online is going to order multiple items at a time, which can reduce
the shipping cost a lot compared to ordering just one item.
Sometimes they also show MSRP too .
The idea of finding the price online doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Especially since the lady may go look there too.

You have to consider that this bi.., er, customer may also suggest that
since Stormy COULD have bought a quantity of "reverse frammits" at a
discount, that she should only pay that quantity price. You know, 1
frammit at $16.95 but if Stormy had really been looking out for her, he
could have bought a dozen of them and then "her" cost should have been
$16.35!

Let's not forget that Stormy likely stopped to fill up with gas on his
his way home from her place. Ergo, the service/labor charge (if any)
must be appropriately discountedg


Quantity pricing is good, except when you have to put
the bill on charge card, with interest. Then it loses
all the saving.

Combined shipping is also good, I do that when possible.

I agree, that some customers are a real experience when
it is time to pay the bill.

Like the customer at the service station who was making noises about
not getting screwed on auto repairs, complained the estimate was too
high and then when he came to pick up the car, wanted credit. I told
the boss either cash or cheque - no credit card, because I was sure
he'd dispute the bill with the bank - and when he decided to pay by
cheque I told the boss to lose the keys or whatever it took to keep
the guy in the shop for about 10 minutes while I grabbed the cheque
and headed out the back way with the truck to the customer's bank
branch - where I paid the $2 to have the cheque certified.
As I was going out the door the customer came in all out of breath and
asked to stop payment on the cheque, and I had a big grin on my face
when the teller told him "too late, that guy just certified the
cheque"
