Interesting, I've not done that.

You could use that same trick you have for the subtotal, save the
shipping mode, set it to each of those and display it in order, then
reset it.

It would be a lot easier to do it in perl calling this
from Interpolate.pm to iterate the options:

sub tag_shipping {
        my($mode, $opt) = @_;
        $opt = { noformat => 1, convert => 1 } unless $opt;
        $Ship_its = 0;
        if(! $mode) {
                $mode = $opt->{handling}
                                ? ($::Values->{mv_handling})



Schematically something like

{
  my(@OUT);
  for ('USPS First Class','USPS Priority Mail','USPS Express Mail') { # use abbrv names
    push @OUT,&Interpolate::tag_shipping($_);
  }
  return "@OUT";
}

Doesn't even look like you need to reset anything; mode overrides
what is set.
