A seller's item listing will indicate whether they offer combined shipping. Check the item description or the "Shipping and Payment" tab on each listing. If they do, put all three items in your cart and click on the "Request total" link. DO NOT BUY THE ITEMS FIRST, as suggested by the other poster (unless I misunderstood). If they offer combined shipping, the seller will send an invoice with the discount for shipping.

The seller is not required to offer combined shipping rates, so make sure you check their item listing first. If it is not mentioned, you could contact the seller and ask them about it, but, again, they are not obligated to comply.

Keep in mind that click on the "request total" will obligate you to buy the items, so, even if you're not satisfied with the shipping discount, you still have to pay for the purchases. (I'm not thrilled with that procedure, but that's the way it works.)

There are also sellers who have the cart calculate the shipping discounts; e.g., if shipping for the first item is $4, and every subsequent item is $1, the cart will compute that as each item from that seller is added. If that's the case, clicking on "request total" is not required.

After buying each one, send the seller an invoice request. He may give a discounted shipping price for one shipment of all three; or, they may be have to be shipped separately and the shipping cost will remain the same for each.
