 I taught grammar for decades, and Alison Wonderland is correct.

 

"Shipping and handling" is regarded as a single entity.

And that should be "you're, and not your", speaking of education.

Too many, if not all, of t(e hosts incorrectly say “shipping and handling IS free”.  The correct grammar is “shipping and handling ARE free”. Assuming the hosts have some sort of communications or broadcasting degree, I am surprised they go uncorrected.

If I can save some money and I like the product, I don't care how they say it.
