I think they should pass a law that states the advertised price must be exactly the price you pay including all taxes, fees, etc, etc...

I hateit when I order tickets from ticketmaster and its an extra $10/ticket after they include all their damn fees. Or when an airline advertises a seat sale for say $99 and it actually costs $200 by the time you add in all the taxes and fees. Or cell phones are advertised as $30/month, but you get a bill for $45. I even find it annyoing when something is advertised as 99 cents, and all of a sudden I have to pay $1.14 just because of simple GST + PST.

Its annoying and very misleading and should be illegal, imo. For UPS or any other company that tries to nail you with extra fees.
