I saw this article today and it contains some good food for thought on this subject:

Can be tricky. Some prices went up with usps, insurance cost went up and you may want that plus signature if its x amount of dollars you are sending. I charge what I want to charge for shipping because its tricky to say in this economy what works and doesn't. Shipping costs will only go up.  I believe and its proven more people Internet window shop then in real life.

I totally agree that free shipping on its own can be very bad.  Shipping is a cost that must be accounted for in some way.
