Ultimately it doesn't matter who charges how much for delivery UNLESS the vendor gives you that choice. Many online vendors have "exclusive" deals with UPS or FedEX, so your hypothetical $8 item ends up costing $50 delivered.
Funny, I'm the customer who pays for the item and the shipping, but I get no choice?
I find it particularly offensive when local retailers whinge about how online vendors have the "unfair advantage" of sales tax (GET) exemption -- if the State ever decides to "close that loophole", there better be some language about "buyer gets choice of shipping".
