I have a feeling something needs to be adjusted here:
<select name="select">
<option value="<?=$servvalue ?>" selected="selected"><?=$serv ?></option>
<option value="1">Standard - 3 Day/72 Hour Return - $5.00 Per Page</option>
<option value="2">Expedite - 2 Day/48 Hour Return - $7.50 Per Page</option>
<option value="3">Overnight - 1 Day/24 Hour Return - $9.00 Per Page</option>



The above code will always double display the selected item, the code was written quickly.

The user of the page made a choice in the previous page, is there a need for the user to have the option of the same choices on this page, would it not be better to have a confirmation page, and if they need to edit..... send them back to the previous page to change their selection thus making the above code redundant.

You have a mix of javascript and php over the couple of pages, if it was my page I would look at using php sessions to store variables that can be used from page to page.

The session variable would be named on the first page, and the variables can be called on the subsequent pages, no need for GET or POST commands and IF statements.

Good Luck.
