If estimates are not okay and the true cost of shipping cannot be calculated in a short period of time, then why is it okay to display a shipping price during the checkout process right before I click "submit", since this price is presumably an estimate? If presenting an estimate during the checkout process is actually okay, why not display it in the cart before the checkout process?
- saosebastiao 10y agoGetting a shipping estimate doesn't take a lot of time (a few hundred milliseconds at most), and by the time you are in checkout, you should have detailed enough product and destination information to get an extremely accurate estimate from the carrier APIs (which would only change in the event of the vendor misjudging item size or weight or something similar).
