A browser extension that adds a warning to the Amazon page, if the item is not shipped by Amazon directly
For Firefox, you can directly get the extension from the offical Add-On page.
Also works on Firefox for Androidâ„¢
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:
- Download the
.zip
from the latest release - In Chrome, go to
chrome://extensions/
and enable Developer Mode - 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.
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.
The following Amazon sites are currently supported, but not every site has been tested. Furthermore, not every site has it's own translation for the warning message.
- amazon.com
- amazon.co.uk
- amazon.ca
- amazon.com.au
- amazon.de
- amazon.fr
