Shopping for Books (AGAIN!) on amazon.co.uk
141 of 141 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Advantages Sells lots of books including out-of-print and limited editions; can't find it? Ask! Free SUPER SAVER DELIVERY now applies when purchase over £15 of "eligible products"
Disadvantages I forget passwords and their re-verification proceedure is bewildering; items can be expensive; must CHOOSE Super Saver Delivery to receive it; SUPER SAVER DELIVERY you WAIT FOREVER
As my TITLE clearly states that I am discussing the purchase of BOOKS on AMAZON, I will be discussing THIS in much more detail. However, it is worth noting that AMAZON have been expanding their range, so I will include brief details of what is available.
The website has a brand new featured category link (featured in turn as you change pages) in the top corner of the page to entice you to explore another area you may not have considered - "Do It Yourself & Tools" - "Garden and Outdoors" - "Personal Care" - "Kitchen & Home" - these may or may not be related to the category tab you have pressed.The following are the Specialised Categories which have Main Page Tabs you can choose:
WelcomeTravel is actually a direct link to the homepage of one of Amazon's "Trusted Partners" - Expedia.co.uk - and offers a special link to "Learn more about our trusted partners" - which brings you right back to the Amazon.co.uk site on a page which gives you contact details and telephone numbers to follow-up on any order you may have made with Expedia.co.uk as a result of ordering through Amazon Travel Shop. This is actually done very well!
***[A similar partnership exists with Amazon.com and Hotwire.com - I have just today assisted my niece and nephew-in-law to find the cheapest fare (and book it) to come to my son's wedding in November - at nearly $100 less per person than with the cheapest airline when booked directly!!!]***
There are separate charges for the different categories ordered, depending on what you are ordering, and all charges are added to the total at the end when you checkout.
