Title: bitmunchies now delivers DiGiorno
Post by: bearbones on May 04, 2011, 09:52:48 PM
By popular demand, I've figured out how to ship pizza (http://bitmunchies.com/index.php?cPath=29_42).  Between the dry ice packing and overnight shipping, it is an expensive process.  The price is for the continental US.  Sorry, but I don't think that it is plausible to ship any farther.  Enjoy, and please keep up the feedback!

You might want to warn buyers for the dry ice. You can get nasty burn wounds from that when handling without gloves.

Are you using the 7 day moving average now?

I am using the 7 day average, but I haven't had time to automate it.  Had to fix a bug in the daily order printing script today.  I did have time to load a few new products, aside from the pizza.

I will be sure to warn users about the dry ice!  I think that a note attached to the outer box, and an email should be sufficient, wouldn't you say?

How dare you create such a paradox!?  It's not delivery, it's DiGiorno!

Just made my first purchase from bitmunchies! I'll post back on how it goes :)

Am I the first person to order from your shop, bearbones?

I am also quite a fan of the fresh baked pizza, Darth Severus.  You can't buy flour, tomatoes and cheese with bitcoins, though.  ;)

Thanks for your business, Garrett!  You were my first user, but someone beat you to the first order.  How did you like the checkout process?  Have trouble with anything?

Nope, since I already had an account it was pretty quick and painless, but there was an extra page it seemed, I believe the middle one in the checkout process (didn't note it down or anything), which seems like it could be clipped out.

That and just some minor descriptions and other polish things, which I'm sure you're aware of and are just busy with other things :) Specifically, the flat rate shipping option in the checkout total is a bit odd because it says something like flat rate (flat rate).

Just things like that make the site look unprofessional (from what I've gathered, it is! :P) But for just getting onto its legs, a very solid store, quick and easy to get food! (Especially easy because of how simple BTC transfers are!)

Great work!
Can I ask what shopping cart software you used?

I built a bitcoin payment module to use with the osCommerce cart.  If you are interested, I will be releasing the code in a couple of weeks.  :)

You have to warn the shipper about the dry ice, too. So they can give you some advice on what the best way to do it is.

Boy, you aren't kidding.  Even with the 3-pack, that's well over $40 per pizza at current market prices.  I guess if you *really* wanted to say that you were able to buy pizza with Bitcoins...
