Handling charge?

[CCD]

Is there a contribution that calculate the handling charge on the total order purchase + shipping cost? Example: I sell a $4 item and shipping cost is $6 total of $10 and I want to charge 3% for handling charge based on the total price of $10. this is If is possible to be a handling charge based on percentage will be great. Is possible?

Also I want this charges be invisible and added to the shipping fee. So the buyers only see a one shipping price.

I know this is an old thread, but I basically one to do this as well. We store our inventory, but the cost of the packaging, stamps, signature confirmations (we must do this for some organizations)... these fees aren't included in the calculations and they do end up costing us a good bit. So basically we'd like to add $3 to the order but have it be "invisible" to the customer.

Anyone have any ideas?

Some of the shipping modules (UPS and USPS for sure) have a handling fee option. I don't know if they are or can be invisible to the customer, but if your site shows shipping estimates, it should be included.

You could also increase the tare on your products to bump the shipping.

You probably don't want to go too wild though. Some customers (like me) compare shipping costs too, when we compare pricing on competing sites.
