Actually, no, it can be reasonable to refuse to combine shipping if the
products are shipping from different places.
Of course, and I said so about a sentence or two away from the text you quoted.
Similarly, real outfits will ship separately if some items are backordered ? or they may
give you a choice to have separate shipments or to get the whole order in one shipment
later.
As for the explanation someone suggested that things might have been packaged up ahead of
time ? that?s not all that plausible but it?s possible. If so, though, the only
reasonable reply is ?no, because?. Canceling the auction simply because someone *asks*
for combined shipping is plainly inexcusable.
