Do you actually get people to give you their credit card information without them even knowing: a) how much they are going to be charged b) whether or not you charge them more for shipping because of where they live c) if what they WANT to order is even in stock?
If so, you must have one user friendly, warm and fuzzy feeling generating site to make people feel that comfortable. (is it basket basics dot com?) Why would any of that information (in stock, shipping cost, shipping location, etc..., and a FINAL price) not be obtainable BEFORE getting the credit card number? If any of it IS unobtainable without a Credit Card number, it sounds like a flawed system to me. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

No I'm not just being sarcastic....but there should be no reason to do this [snip] Except - we don't know the final cost until the items purchased are packaged and postage/freight is figured. (And we make sure the items are actually in stock and not on order, etc.) The configuration (i.e., number of boxes) can vary a great deal depending on what is ordered (some things will pack inside others, etc.) and, of course, the actual charge depends on where you are shipping it (and keeping up with UPS and USPS shipping tables is no trivial matter).
