A browser extension that adds a warning to the Amazon page, if the item is not shipped by Amazon directly

How to install

Firefox 🦊

Also works on Firefox for Androidâ„¢ Android Robot

get-the-addon button

Chrome 🔵🔴🟡🟢

Caution

As Google demands a 5€ fee to become a Chrome Extension Developer, I've not published the extension in the Chrome Web Store!

However, you can still install the extension manually:

  1. Download the .zip from the latest release
  2. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions/ and enable Developer Mode
  3. Drag and drop the .zip file into the Chrome window

You won't get automatic updates, but you can watch this repository to get notified about new releases.

How does it work?

The exension checks the page for the text that holds the shipping information. If the text contains the word "Amazon", the extension does nothing. If the text does not contain the word "Amazon", the extension adds a warning to the page. In order to get the user's attention and make them aware of potential shipping costs.
