The online shopping environment doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid. <br /><br />I've resorted to Amazon a couple of times for getting a book and on another occasion two DVDs that I couldn't get here in Australia. It was OK, except one of the DVDs could not be sent to me because of copyright issues (I guess)...<br /><br />I prefer shopping local.Intellibloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262938291462934103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648449303376576981.post-46766316704782452112009-09-14T13:35:19.356-07:002009-09-14T13:35:19.356-07:00Never used Amazon but know people who have.

And I did my best to frequent them including placing orders through them. Never got charged for shipping.<br /><br />But they went under for one reason or another - not the least of was our current economy. And we have a large group of "green" readers here that trade books or donate to library for their book sales. And buy, read and re-donate. <br /><br />The trouble with the used books sales there is they don't organize beyond genre and it makes it very difficult to find a specific title or author. I am going to really miss the book store. That is probably another whine.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648449303376576981.post-63191229358136554342009-09-12T07:49:15.268-07:002009-09-12T07:49:15.268-07:00Correction: I don't mean to say I'm happy...Correction: I don't mean to say I'm happy you've had so much trouble with them.

I'm glad to hear your tale of woe. I'm less likely than ever to order from Amazon.Bekkieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058996951400003081noreply@blogger.com
