I've bought a couple small items from Link-Delight and been satisfied
with shipping and the product but I've never had occasion to ask for
combined shipping. Whenever I have inquired about how that's to be done
I've been advised to select the option to ask the vendor for a final
price quote instead of doing the calculation myself and submitting
payment right away. Did you query the multi-item shipping instructions
and follow them?
