How do you feel about sites that charge shipping fees based on the value of the purchase, and not the weight? I am incensed that so many online sites are doing this, it makes no sense and is really insulting to the consumer.

If oneline stores want to entice buyers they should be fair with their shipping policies. I'd love to get some feed back from other shoppers here.

All of the costs of warehousing and the personnel needed to pick, pack and ship products are eliminated.
