Well, the internet's free ride is well over then isn't it? I am very
unlikely to pay $30 total for an item at $20 with an additional s&h of $10.
Sometimes I order rarer or "hard to find in quantity" elements from Europe
via Bricklink and the shipping charges really sting, but at least I go into
it knowing it's a possibility. I think the other poster was merely pointing
out the need to know in advance all the financial requirements of the
implied contract of sale on an internet site. I could actually see where
failure to state such information could easily be a deal breaker, and maybe
even a legally protected deal breaker.
How can a contract, whose terms are vague, be enforceable?
