  Unfortunately it's not listed on product pages or in the readme at Daz.
  Renderosity includes it on product pages, maybe that's the shop you were thinking of.

  I've asked multiple times for this to be included, and have been told I can ask the help desk before buying a product, and therefore Daz does not need to bother includign it in the product description.

  Thank you. And I wanted to proudly announce: "Found this feature at Renderhub" – they have it too :)

  It's a pity that Daz doesn't see it the same way. For me, it is information about the quality of a product and can be relevant for deciding between two products.

  Edit: One more thing to research-before-buy: If I want to buy something at the official price, I might ask a lot of people. Help desk, forum, etc. But for me, Daz becomes a hobby. No purchase becomes vital.

  I have asked for this feature too, as I've had some really bad experiences with product files being so huge I couldn't use them at all because they took up way too much space or were simply unwieldy in DS with my specs. Of course, you can always return things, but it's just so disappointing if you already fell in love with, say, a gorgeous hair. That wouldn't happen if the file size was stated plainly on the promo page.

  What i usually do is I check other products I own from the PA in question, and if I have reason to suspect the file size might be too large for me I ask in the forums if someone already owns it. Saved me quite a few times from making a purchase I later regretted, so can recommend that.
