Customers questioning shipping charges..

[DBurrows]

Is there anyway to add a shipping cost line to the cart view code as the biggest volume of enquiries from customers is about shipping charges.
Currently the shipping is only applied after they begin the checkout process.

I appreciate the shipping is based upon not only the weight but also the country of origin however 99% of customers are UK based so to show UK shipping everytime would not be a problem.

Incidently the cart view code I am talking about is below to avoid any confusion:

<script language="JavaScript">
document.write("NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEITEMS&nbsp;" + getCartItem(3)+"&nbsp;<BR>");
document.write("NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEVALUE&nbsp;" + getCartItem(1));
</script>

The total weight or shipping cost isn't saved in the cookie so I doubt if you can do it that way.

Why not just put a nice button somewhere that says "Uk shipping from only £1.95" (or whatever) that customers can click to get a nice pop-up that clearly explains your shipping charges.

Not a bad idea at all - all i would need is someway of showing the shopping basket's content's weight..
