That's a normal part of business.
- tptacek 3y agoReally? In what other ordinary retail business do you need to get a customer zip code before you can quote them an accurate price on a standard offering?
- vel0city 3y agoPractically all of them. I don't see the final price from pretty much any online store until I put in my ZIP as otherwise it doesn't know shipping or taxes. But at least I can see the final price before I choose to commit to buying the item. Many ISPs won't tell you what the bill is going to be until they've already wired you up for service.
- jcranmer 3y agoE-commerce?
- meepmorp 3y agoZip code isn't nearly enough information to work out telecom taxes/fees, as they often cross political boundaries with potentially different rates and charges. You need a full street address.
- tzs 3y agoSame for sales tax, if you are selling in a way where the applicable sales tax is where the customer lives rather than where the seller is.
- mqus 3y agoDon't they need to know your address anyways to check if they can provide service at all?
