Country selection, delivery address - up front?

[IanJ]

Hi,

Have spent hours researching this, hopefully I am posting in correct area.

Joomla 3.4.5
VM 3.0.12

I don't want to use user registration.

The prices on my site I would like to be set in terms of VAT / no VAT i.e. against the rules I have set up in my shop. At the moment the displayed prices can only be displayed properly when the user views their CART and chooses a delivery address. At that point the rules kick in and will display the prices accordingly.

What I want to do however is have a front end page to my shop which is basically a very simple "welcome" screen but that will also have a single pull down menu to allow the user to pre-select their COUNTRY and thus from that point onwards the rules will kick in immediately and the prices will be displayed accordingly.

I should also note I don't really want to use IP address detection at the moment.

Any ideas?

Ian.
