Title: Bitmunchies now has international shipping on site
Post by: bearbones on June 21, 2011, 05:46:32 PM
Hello,

Some of you may be familiar with Bitmunchies.  We provide food and other staples in return for bitcoin.

In the past, we have sent orders to Germany, Austria, Finland, and other EU countries.  I would like to let you know, that our website can now handle these orders automatically.  You no longer need to email and wait for an estimate on shipping.  Simply check out as you normally would, and you will receive a shipping estimate.

We welcome your business, in this exciting, global market.

Sincerely,
Ira Miller

Please let us know if you encounter any issues with the checkout process: contact form (http://bitmunchies.com/contact_us.php).

Just discovered your site and look forward to placing an order.
I love those salt & pepper pistachios.

I don't know if OSCommerce has gotten any better but it had some serious security issues in the past.
You might want to be sure you have taken all precautions.

For those of you who haven't ever bought from Bitmunchies, I'll attest to the convenience of shopping there. Good prices, can pay in bitcoins, and fast shipping.

Bitcoin is all about breaking international barriers.  Nice to see you sharing the Bitmunchies love abroad.

I assure you that I'm tightening the security for bitmunchies, as well as many of my other sites. :-/ I was not aware that OSCommerce had a reputation for lax security, but I'm increasingly considering a switch.  It has many other shortcomings.

It was actually your 40% off sale post that spurred me to finish testing the international shipping, Gabriel. :)

I have had 2 servers get rooted because of friends I hosted using OSC.
Browse the security section of their forums, there are a few key things to make note of.

I now recommend Ecwid to anyone who is looking for something free, simple, and secure.
Though I doubt there is an easy way to make it work with bitcoin.

Hello,

text.


I have to ask, what's with the insanely high shipping costs? :-X

It would cost me $50-$60+ to get some stuff shipped here to Sweden, is that really the only available options?

I was looking forward to trying out some products but the 3.5-5 btc shipping is just.. high?

Awesome  ;D
I'd like to suggest a kosher/halal tag/category for better convenience though.
Once I get more  btc, I think I'll buy some munchies.
