about John's note on hospital asprin including the "delivery cost"....I think that's what TV ads mean by "shipping and handling" shipping costs are standard, but they can charge anything they think they can get away with for handling.

(did you ever notice how 87.4237% of items in late night TV ads are $19.95 + S&H?) Who thinks that price is a mark DOWN?

indeed, Dick...there are a number of items I'd like to own that ARE fairly priced (handmade autoharp by Keith Young), but that I'll never be able to afford! (A Humvee maybe?)
