I have been running my on-line store for many years, and
have gone through a few web carts. None of the previous webcarts I
tried hold a stick to King Cart.
The previous webcarts I installed were difficult and confusing to set up
and were hard to maintain. King Cart on the other hand was a breeze
to install, and is a breeze to add new products, modify products, etc.
My favorite feature about King Cart is the real-time shipping calculations
and time in transit page for UPS and the Postal Service. I've never
seen any other webcart that provides the shipping rates and time in
transit all on one screen for the customer to choose from. It makes
deciding which shipping option to use a breeze. Another thing that I really like is
the real-time international rate quotes. I get a lot of overseas
orders, and I used to have to email the customer the various shipping
options and wait for their response on which one they wanted to use.
King Cart, on the other hand, even works great for figuring the shipping
options on overseas orders, so this is not longer a headache.
Another really cool feature that King Cart offers is the private, username/password protected area. I use this area to allow my
resellers to log in and view their prices on items and place orders
on-line with their special pricing. I don't know of any other
webcart that allows you to do this.
To sum it up, I can't think of any features that I would like King Cart to
have that it doesn't. It covers the spectrum of what all the other
webcarts offer with some cool features that only King Cart offers.

I would like to take this time to thank you for offering such a FANTASTIC
service.
I've tried several other carts that you either had to be a programmer to use
or you were limited to just a few products with no control as to what and
when. I wanted control of my products and how many items I could offer. I
was sure I was going to have to settle for less than I wanted.
Then, very skeptically, I found and tried KingCart. What a surprise! Your
service actually offers more than expected. The shipping choices are
unsurpassed. The pricing options are an outstanding plus because I offer
wholesale prices to dealers. With the password protected Dealer option they
can order on-line also. The discount option is one I will use all the time.
The list goes on. Anything I've wanted you've 'customized' to fit my needs.
You've made editing everything a breeze. You've also taken the time to
answer all my questions and explain how everything works.
I now have a shopping cart that offers over 3000 items on-line. This would
not have been possible for me if I had not found KingCart. I highly
recommend KingCart to anyone seeking the services they offer. They do what
they offer.

Hand Dyed Fibers
I've been selling from a free commercial web site for about a year and a
half now and had really outgrown it. I needed a secure set up with a
shopping cart, that would enable me to process credit cards. After
searching around, I found another free commercial web site, and field tested
my site there, but after only 2 weeks it was very apparent that it was
SLOW - and that slowness made it very buggy. After 5 customer complaints
and many abandoned shopping carts on a holiday weekend with no response to
frantic customer support requests I went looking in earnest for a web site
host.
There are SO many options! I spent hours researching web sites, web sites
with carts, web sites with seperate carts, with credit card processing with
gateways, with seperate gateways - I felt like I was in some kind of
never-never land. Moreover I LOVED the look and feel of my site. I sell
hand dyed fibers and needed tiered pages with thumbnails that would show as
large pictures when clicked on. And to lastly complicate things - I didn't
have an unlimited budget to spend to get it all.
After literally hours, I stumbled across King Cart systems - I couldn't
believe that it had everything I needed in one place. A cart with every
feature known to man, a place to store pictures, credit card processing
posibilities, and a flat rate per order payment system! This seemed too
good to be true - so after reading the fine print about a thousand times I
wrote Marshall and asked him my big question - If I went with him would my
site still look like it did?! He assured me that he certainly would do his
best. An email response FAST - and this on a holiday weekend from someone
I wasn't even a customer of yet!
I had more questions than he could possibly answer in email - so he arranged
a phone call, answered all my questions - and reminded me that if I didn't
like it nothing was lost. So I plunged.
Together we went through tiered pages, table closing scripts for my clumsy
html statements, gateways - but Marshall was with me every single step of
the way. He imported almost 100 discrete products with a csv table and
option scripts for half of them and inventory control for the other half
just to further complicate it. He tested it all first with a test store
just to make sure I really liked it - the look, the feel - could everything
I needed even be done? We rewrote headers, product import statements,
javascripts, added special shipping billing features, and since I wanted it
to work FAST he set up a database to call the products up instead of having
seperate product page calls.
On Tuesday afternoon, I was able to announce the opening of a web site that
I only contacted him about on Sunday afternoon!!!!
This type of customer support is amazing to me. The individualized
treatment and specialized help that I required would have cost me thousands
from anyone else - if I could even get it (I'm still waiting for a response
to the email I sent to my last site 5 days ago!!!!!!). The few minor bugs
were worked out by Marshall in record time (even when they were my operator
error!!). Considering the amount of specialized features I needed to get up
and running, it really shows how responsive and flexible Marshall's sytem
(and support) is.
Above all and most important - customer reviews have been rave. They're
amazed at the response and speed of the site and how snappy the whole thing
looks. And when it comes down to it all, we sell when we look good.
Thank you Marshall for making me look my best.
