You could call the [shipping] tag once, store the result in a
temporary scratch variable and then display that scratch on your
page as many times as you see fit:

    [tmp postage][shipping][/tmp]
    Postage cost: [scratch postage]<br>
    Repeated for the hard of hearing: [scratch postage]<br>

If you wanted to store the value in the session as a persistent,
rather than as a temporary, scratch then you could use [seti]
instead of [tmp].
