I sell medical supplies and equipment and I see vastly different shipping charges from one vendor to another. I have confronted more than a few about the disparity and they just can't imagine how other vendors "get such a deal". Yeah...right. There is no doubt that some profit by inflating shipping/handling charges, or they charge full cost and then get bulk rebates from the shippers.
I have had vendors magically reduce the rate, after the fact, on a shipment when I complained. How did they do this? They knocked off their add-on charges. Of course the next time I ordered I got shafted again.
What sucks is, I can't get some specialty items anywhere else...but that's all I will order from them. They will never know the amount of business they lose because of their short-sightedness. Too bad.
