Yep, especially as it'd be easier for the sender to pack a combined
package than do it all individually. Or even worse, charge you for
individual shipping, then actually only send one combined package and
generate some extra profit that way.
Having said that, the best option would have to be asking up front
whether the seller will combine postage, if they don't explicitly state
one way or the other. At least that preempts any issues of that sort.

That?s a very old trick among low grade mail order
outfits. Real businesses don?t run that way; as you said, they will combine shipping as
normal practice whenever multiple things ship from the same place. The only conceivable
reason for objecting to combined shipping is that you?re using ?shipping and handling? as
a profit source.

Presumably, these sellers are using inflated
postage to add a bit of margin. Otherwise, why not combine shipping?
