If your tag line is "The World's first $9 computer" I don't think it's totally unreasonable for people to point out that you have to pay more than $9 to get the thing.

Who are these people that aren't aware that taxes, shipping, and duties are a thing?

They must be Amazon Prime members.

Not every international person knows what is usual in the US. For example in Germany prices are always including taxes.

Its in India as well. Usually shipping is free or mentioned separately.

So you don't expect to pay taxes or shipping of something you buy online?

[hx87]

I do, but I expect the shipping and tax to be displayed upfront, before I enter any personal information (aside from address) or sign in/sign up for an account.

Many times the website needs your address to know the shipping, it's quite different sending the thing to an island in the middle of the pacific ocean or to a major US city.

I think it is. Of course there's going to be shipping. Moving things around isn't free.
