I admit - I overreacted... Sorry Magcloud. You can cancel my support request (seriously, which is kind of embarrassing).
Anyway I've had dinner and can now speak calmly. The feature that I described (a preemptive suggestion of the inability to ship to the visitor's country) is not common on the web. In fact most online retailers really suck at it. I still haven't found a decent solution for quickly checking whether Amazon items can be shipped to me without adding to cart and proceeding to checkout. However, it would be a welcome feature for most online retailers, and would definitely stop visitor's like myself from getting a nasty first impression.
I guess it's not implemented well because, by definition, if I'm outside your shipping area than I'm outside your target market. However you can see how this is short sighted, and keeping me happy might be a good idea for the future.
So those are my $0.02 on the issue. I guess this is what happens when a company makes me angry ten minutes before dinner :D
- ErrantX 16y agoOh yeh I totally agree. The worst bit for me is that, living in the UK, sometimes you can get lucky (as in this case) but it is completely non-obvious...
