If you made the login optional, and went straight to the overview, you could then edit just your postcode, and have the real cost displayed, but you couldn't continue until you filled in the rest of your details. @David, Shops using Paypal can provide this kind of experience, if you surrender your whole checkout to them, it gives the use the advantage of being able to use the same details on multiple sites.

I want to know how much something will cost - including all delivery and tax costs - before I decide to buy. A "how much will it cost to post code xxx" function would reduce these because I would know up front before I started the cart process and would minimize the personal information I have shared with the store.

I'm definitely prone to abandon a cart in preference to a site where I can use this method. Actually, I much prefer those shops where I can checkout with PayPal.
