HI,
I have a website so please tell my why Shipping now depends on your zipcode! So leave me your total and I will give you the complete total..Still ship to Alaska, Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii . I am also verry happy to take big orders for you wholesalers! United states as well. Why does that and telling the shipping amount scare people away? I am soo lost I thought if consumers loved the products that shipping wouldn't matter. Especially when its usually not that much..I mean nice is great but not every1 can swing it. I will also have tons of gift cards in march that will take up alot of shipping costs if your the first 45 people. But really some1 explain this to me please!

Welcome to myLot letsrock2001! The reason shipping matters to a lot of people is because something that they're wanting to buy is a good deal before shipping, but maybe not as good a deal after shipping costs are added. If shipping is free, it won't matter. I personally find a lot of awesome deals online for things even after shipping is added, especially since I get paid for shopping online. I only wish that I could find out how much shipping will be before almost completely checking out.

If you offer good products, offer good shipping rates, and you run a good company I don't think there will be a problem. Some people/companies charge too much shipping for example 15 USD for a CD that costs 2 USD which makes no sense especially since it's domestic shipping! Many eBay sellers charges too much shipping, therefore many people don't buy from those sellers. Sometimes gift cards are nice because they can cover nearly all the order cost.
