Description

I have overseas customers and I have noticed a worrying trend of them changing their country to UK to get cheaper delivery charges. i.e. Customer with American address changes it to UK shipping drops from £4.49 to £1.79


Comments

openmind: Unfortunately this is unavoidable as establishing the country based on IP is not accurate enough to prevent this and restricting users in this way could cause more problems than it solves. The only thing you can do is ensure that the country is correct and if not, the customer has to pay the difference before despatch. 10/06/2010 12:05
