I think in general places calculate shipping cost by weight. These days, 
with single cost shipping for certain package sizes this will probably 
end up being an estimate rather than an exact cost. I'd probably 
estimate on the high side too since no one likes to lose money on sales 
and it does take time and effort to do the shipping.
