Buying books online - isn't Amazon the best value?

Written by Dilip Sinha


Everybody wants good value when they buy books online - especially expensive ones. And everyone knows that people like Amazon have transformed book buying to provide everyone with better value than bookshops and other booksellers.

Don't they? Haven't they?

Not exactly. I am telling you because I should know. I too am a trader. I getrepparttar same prices, presumably, as Amazon fromrepparttar 108942 publishing houses. They may even get a bigger discount from me becuase they buy in bulk for their thousands of customers. So how can I charge less than me?

Is it because they add apostage charge of around £3 to all orders under around £39? Most paperback books are around £6.99. If you look at Amazon's description ofrepparttar 108943 book it may say "Our price £5.59. You save 20%". You are then invited to "buy now".

So you are saving £1.40 onrepparttar 108944 price you would pay in a bookshop but then paying £3 postage. That makesrepparttar 108945 price £1.60 MORE thanrepparttar 108946 bookshop price. That'srepparttar 108947 smallest village bookshop you can find, remember. Are you really going to order £39 worth of books at once? Can your credit card stand it?
