This is one of my pet peeves.  Tongue2  Because I hate being surprised by outrageous shipping rates, I always look for the shipping info before i put anything in to my cart. If I can't find it, I won't order. Shipping rates, IMO, should be published on the site and easy to locate (don't make me work for it or I will just leave)! :turkey2:

I agree 100%, also when the site requires you fill out 4 pages, including CC# and then you get to find out the shipping after the fact. That has caused me more than once to abandon the cart, and the site. All of the reasons cited above directly impact my decision as a buyer on any site I look at.

Our shipping calculators are in the shopping cart so buyers can see the total before they checkout/fill in any contact info

EDIT: the amount shown in our shopping carts is the maximum possible total because quantity discounts and coupons aren't applied until during checkout.

Amy I would shop on your site anytime.
I have no idea what you sell, but I bet your site is awesome.

Sorry, I do not like junk phone calls, and sometimes I do not want to think about business.  Big Grin

How the heck do you expect me to have your address???

BTW - I give S & H ($2. for USA) twice on the front page. Maybe I should make it 3?

I also hate this.  Unfortunately I think my site is set up (if I remember correctly from my test orders) to not show your shipping until your all situated to check out, basically before you hit pay I think. Sad

How can I fix this?  I use the USPS Shipping Module?  Should I have a chart that displays shipping and then make sure the weight is listed in my descriptions?

Re: What really pisses online shoppers off...
I just checked.  Your cart is the same as ours:  there is a shipping calculator on the shopping cart page so the customer doesn't have to enter any info to see shipping.

You could add a note to your site that says something like "add item to shopping cart to see shipping charges to your zip code"
