I ALWAYS check shipping charges first. I think so many people are inflating shipping charges to cover the low prices of the items they are auctioning. They figure that 20 other people are selling the same item but if they sell it to you for $10 cheaper and then make it up on the shipping that they will be even and get more buyers that way. I just recently bought a tailgate handle and bezel from the same seller here in TX and i asked him if i could pick them up and he said NO, then i asked him if he could combine shipping on the two items to save me some $ because he had $10 listed as shipping charges on each item. Now i know it only cost him about $5 to ship both but his prices were $10 cheaper than the next guy so in the end i still saved $5. He was cool and emailed me back saying that he was selling these items at cost and only makes money on the shipping and since he had the shipping charges stated in the auction i didnt have a problem with it, its up to the buyer to read the entire auction before bidding.
