Your right! I was looking at some gardening items on the internet the other night and while it wasn't heavy, it was bulky. I think the product I was looking at cost about $8.00, but the shipping was $12.95 on UPS. My wife once ordered a couple of shirts for me on the internet and didn't check the shipping costs. I think the two shirts cost about $25.00 and the shipping and handling would have been $56.00. I looked at the receipt after she printed it and noticed the shipping charges. She was able to cancel the order before it shipped. You really have to watch those shipping charges.

I live in Texas and items ordered outside Texas normally don't have sales taxes added when shipped to Texas. Texas filed a lawsuit against Amazon last week for one hundred and eighty million dollars for back sales taxes for items shipped to Texas. Their reasoning is the fact that since Amazon has at least one warehouse in Texas, that makes Amazon sales and shipment to Texas subject to sales taxes.
