Exactly. If you're unable to explain the fee, then you're unable to prove it's a justified one

I'd like them to take it a step further and for each of those fees ask why it isn't a part of the base price.

Agreed. It's actually a simple choice for them. Either explain every single item on the list, or advertise the real price of their service in all commercials and so on.

I'm guessing that they want to eat their cake and save it. Or maybe more accurately: keep their cake and eat yours...
