Customers don't want that, they don't have a choice in the matter. The reason fees, taxes, shipping, handling, and everything else are hidden is because that's how retailers compete with each other on price. They hide the true cost from the customer and make them jump through hoops to determine the actual price. By the time you've provided all of your information to determine the final price, it's easier to complete the sale than go elsewhere. If customers had all of that information up front they could compare prices between retailers easily.
