I'm aware of that. I still think it sucks. And some places define "international" customers differently. A *lot* of places based in the US, for example, don't consider Canada to be "international." A lot do, sure, but there are also a lot that don't.

And I think that a periodic promotion wherein international customers are offered free shipping would be a good thing. Hell, even if it was just twice a year, that would be better than nothing.

Some great discontinued products.

The fact that they don't have features I would like, such as some way to keep track of the personal stores I favorited without also linking to them by hand (I mean, what is the point of favoriting them if there's no list of them sitting anywhere in your account for later perusal?).

If you right click on the link, then click somewhere else (to get rid of the right click menu), then when you hover over the link, it shows the actual destination.

I noticed that today that a lingerie product had a 3 star rating yet no one has reviewed it???? I wish that you couldn't rate a product if you havent reviewed it. Makes it way too hard to judge if I want it or not.

Just because there is no review doesn't mean someone doesn't own the item. I have plenty of items that I own, have rated on product pages, but have not written a review.

On the other hand, I also think way too many people use the rating system thinking it is the lure.

I do too. If its a really good review I may add something or compare to something I have but still if its good I want to let them know that I did take the time to read it and that its appriciated.

It would be handy if we could access lure from someplace besides the wish lists, because I see people do that all the time, so I hardly pay attention to the ratings at all and just assume they're inflated. I rarely use lure because once it's in my wishlist, I already know I want it.

GREAT point! I've come across several items (not just a lingerie/latex question) with vague materials information. I don't have an allergy issue, but it is nice to have clear info on materials.

Oh, that would be really handy, and I'll use it whenever I'm on a PC. But ctrl+clicking on a mac doesn't seem to work the same.

Thanks, though!

I do mark them as spam, but I hate to keep marking things. I never know when they will be taken care of or if it is considered spam. With certain posters, it is hard to tell when they are really being genuine or when they just want points. :/

I have noticed that some product pages allow you to access lure without adding to wishlists.

I also noticed that there is no link to take you directly to wishlist, you have to click Wishlist>Manage my lists to get into them.

As someone who purchases from retailers outside of the US, I understand how you feel. I recently made a purchase from Amazon UK, and though I'm a 'Prime' member in the US, and spent 3x the amount required for free shipping in the UK, I still ended up paying more for the postage than the actual items.

I hate it, but I believe there is a legitimate reason. Most domestic postal programs offer a form of flat rate shipping discount, which means weight is no longer a factor after a certain point. If it fits in the box, whether it weighs two pounds or twenty pounds, it doesn't cost any more to send it. Unfortunately, I have NEVER seen flat rate shipping offered for international mail (other than slim document envelopes), which means every ounce added to the package drives up the shipping price. The more you buy, the more it costs the business to ship it. They don't extend a discount because they don't receive one.

It would be really handy if there was a way to know what's about to be discontinued. But I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to say so. I imagine it would be too hard to do that kind of thing, but it would be awesome. I hate missing out on things because I didn't know they were going to be discontinued.
