How to scare your shoppers
Here’s a shopping cart that recently made me take a very deep breath about my addiction to buying books:
Yes – that’s right, $100k+ shopping cart total which I eventually figured to the $99k shipping charge.
If you read a little note above the shopping cart (does anyone do that?) it did say that “If you get a $99k shipping charge, it means we can’t deliver to that area.” but I’m really not sure that freaking people out is the most effective way to communicate the fact you can’t ship to a particular location.
Someone is stocking up on the pragmatic programmers’ books

Looks like the Pragmatic Programmers to me. I seem to remember their little shipping thing. I would think with their quality of software, they just wouldn’t show those options.
