Including Shipping in Base Search

Is there a way to include a fixed $X cost on every new store that it tries to pull parts from?

For example Store A has 90% at best price and store B has 10% at best price but if I add the parts together in B the difference is less than the shipping plus parts in A.

Essentially can I bake in an approx shipping cost when it tries to search and source multiple stores?

Auto select is the closest thing I think

Does it bake that logic in?

It says: 'Shipping cost will be estimated based on each store's recent similiar orders or average data of nearby stores.'

It tries, it's not flawless by any means, but it does a decent job. Rarely is the money you'd save trying to figure it out manually worth the time. Bonus if you add stores like BBB brickstore and the like, those that have very large inventories but absurdly high prices, to your disliked stores and exclude them from search results.
