I think Olympus America is about the fairest on charging for shipping. They
shipped my C5050 for $5, and an Olympus hood for the 50/1.8 for $2. I've
bought a few things from Henrys, but you have to figure in their
overcharging for shipping when you place your bid. I've never seen what I'd
call a bargain from Henrys.
The most laughable is what I've seen on several auctions lately, a Canadian
seller posting higher rates for shipping in Canada than for shipping to the
US. I recently won a focusing screen from a guy in the Netherlands, who
charged less for shipping than what I've paid for shipping similar items
here within Canada.
