Buy multiple items from the same warehouse and get charged less for shipping. Buy the same items from different warehouses, it costs you more for s&h. But the consumer makes the choice (and knows the consequences ahead of time).

You guys here are smart engineering-style types for the most part (working on your car yourself is a BIG filter for this forum). I think that a lot of people here would like this approach. But some don't - some want simplicity. So, it's difficult, which option to show? We've talked indeed about making the checkout "more complicated" with giving the customers final choice. For my own personal preference, I think I would prefer this. But a lot of people I've asked don't seem to agree. Keeping it simple and "reasonable" on the back end (checkout) seems to be a good universal approach, according to the feedback I've gotten...
