It is a strong behaviour. The 1st ranking website in Greece is a price-comparison website called 'Skroutz'. That's because every one I know, makes 'Skroutz search' before buying an item and compares the price of the item with the online counter-part.

The thing with Skroutz is that you know the shipping cost is about 2 to 4 EUR. But with Amazon you can't tell how much the shipping cost might be, from Amazon-UK/FR/DE/IT to GR.

You can't even easily tell if they will ship to your destination without trying to complete a transaction.

Very annoying.

But doesn't the Fire phone come with free Amazon Prime (free shipping)?
