Some sites don't give accurate shipping information until final checkout which is really irritating. I'll go through part of the checkout process so I can get a final price and then leave to compare prices.
- Maxious 15y agoEven Amazon will let you get pretty far before it tells you that product is not allowed for sale in your region. Worst case was a big ticket ASUS laptop I did plenty of research on (there may be warnings on the product pages IF you are logged in while browsing, I was not).
- sharpneli 15y agoAmazon tends to just mention that the item is not available to shipping for all countries and only at checkout does it complain that it may not sell it to you. To add insult to injury they now spam me advertisements of the products I had to abandon, which they naturally still cannot sell me.
- pbhjpbhj 15y ago>there may be warnings on the product pages [about regional availability]* IF you are logged in while browsing,* This is the right way to do it. How're they supposed to know where you're from, where you'll be buying, if you're not logged in. The alternative appears to be to ask every visitor to give their location before you show them anything.
- andymurd 15y agoAmazon knows where you are, geo-IP databases are fast and accurate.
- pbhjpbhj 15y agoThey're not very accurate. They get my country wrong quite regularly. Also Amazon may know your current location but not where you'll be when you buy something. If I'm travelling does that mean that I can't buy something shipped to my home that would I could buy if I were at home.
