I wish we had pricing transparency laws requiring companies to honor the advertised price without being able to tack on all kinds of hidden fees. Since we don't, there are many times where I've abandoned an online cart because a hidden fee increased the price beyond what I was willing to pay. I'm also generally not going to order from web sites that do "orders of $x or more get free shipping" unless there's at least $x worth of items I want to order so this tactic is self-defeating.
