prediction systems, parsing hopelessly horridly entered address information
all the time. I suppose Austin and Wim could set one up, for instance, a
very simple one, like:
$30 USD shipping to anywhere in the world.
That's what lots of internet retailers do. But no, we don't do that.
We instead ask you to trust us that it is in our interest to ship to you
using the best shipment method, which is a combination of low cost and
reliability. The text right there on the order page says so. <<
Interesting.
I do online (CDs etc) sales; here in the UK the Distance Selling Guidelines
(from the Office of Fair Trading) say that I am obliged to show the total
cost, including shipping, at the time of purchase. I had assumed there were
equivalent rules elsewhere. Clearly not.
Not complaining, you understand (I download, donate, and evangelise) - just
comparing notes.
