Generally your state will collect sales tax on the whole amount -- called use tax. Some states, I believe, do use tax only on the cost of the article ( bought outside the state for use in-state) but most include service/shipping cost i.e. the total out-of-pocket and do give you credit for taxes paid (if) to another state.
Here is an example of information relevant to California tax on shipping that might, or might not, be taxable.
See the following table from the California Tax and Fee Administration:
