Hi Laura,

    My solution over the years is to charge NO shipping fee for large
    orders and the cost of shipping is figured into each piece.  Say give
    yourself $1 per piece for handling and shipping.  Also, if the
    shipment is lost in transit, the retailer is responisble for tracking
    the package.  I, of course, make the claim, so insurance is very
    important. 

    When the order is for special orders or consignment, I charge for
    shipping and handling even though the S/H is already included in the
    price of the piece.  There's a lot of work that goes into putting
    that one piece in a box and getting it on its way!  In the case of
    special orders, the retailer is responsible for paying for the item
    and shipping, even if the customer decides against the piece. 
    Although, the usual disclaimer applies, if the customer finds the
    piece unsatifactory to their specifications. 

I hope this helps.  Reba
