S&H is not always fixed-rate. In fact, "handling" two items should cost more. Shipping more weight should also cost more.

More than one shipping cost, yes, but it should be less than twice the shipping cost. Otherwise you could just order the items separately.

I bet a lot of people do not take into account of the time, fuel, wear-and-tear of their car to go get their wares.
