Our shipping services charge based on weight or size of parcel, but the bulk of the cost is in the initial shipping fee. So if I send two items separately, they are charged individually, but if I package everything into one box, the cost is higher, but not usually double or equivalent to sending the item separately.
Not quite, as you can see by the prices I quoted for a parcel just over 6KG.

$172 for Airmail and $81 for Seamail for one.
$304 Air or $140 Sea for 2 together.

Like I said I'm not at home, and only based the cost on my memory that a TiVo HD in it's original packaging weighed just over 6kg.

Australia post also charges by both weight and size.
