The shipping value wouldn't be stored in the cart unless you had setup your 
catalog to treat it as a modifier and modified order functions to insert 
it.  To do what you want you could try something like:

[set total_shipping]0[/set]
[item-list]
         [seti total_shipping][calc]
                 [scratch total_shipping] + ([item-field shipping] * 
[item-quantity])
         [/calc][/seti]
[/item-list]
...
Shipping: [currency][scratch total_shipping][/currency]
