Bricklink stores pet peeve

I scored a great deal on almost the entire run of the lego viking theme on ebay but a couple of the sets are missing some pieces. Of cousre I plan on bricklinking the missing pieces. This gets me to my big pet peeve about most bricklink stores. It seems most stores charge an "additional materials and handling fee". I can stomach maybe 50 cents but shouldn't getting the parts and shipping them be part of doing business on bricklink? You can get padded evenlopes on bulk for less than 10 cents a piece. I see stores who charge an additional $1.50 and fees. That seems like a lot to me. I can understand stores don't like to handle small orders, then just have a minimum order requirement or adjust your prices accordingly. Whenever I see a store chargeing over $1 in additional fees, I go to the next one. I know this sounds cheap and anal but buying $10 worth of parts and over 10% of that was an additional fee seems like a waist of money to me. Does this bother anyone else? Or am I just being too cheap :devil:
