"Heirloom Knitting" @ Amazon
 

Amazon claims to have Sharon Miller's "Heirloom Knitting" for $36 with
free shipping if you choose "slow boat via Australia and points south"
shipping option.

I just ordered, we'll see if it shows up or if they string me along
for three months before admitting they don't have it at that price.

Today's status email from Amazon shows scheduled shipping during the
first week of June. I'd better check to see if they've already billed
my card :P

To bad that you have had such bad luck with Amazon.com. I have ordered
here in Canada from Amazon.ca and have had great service. Even when I
order books as gift that go to other addresses. Great discounts as well.


Most of the time though, I will buy from our little local bookstore. It
is indeed a bit more money, but on the other hand, I get great service,
and lots of help and a friendly chat. Nice to have choices

All the books I ordered from Amazon.com arrived as scheduled or even=20
some days in advance. This with all of their shipping options.
Also books I ordered as gifts to other addresses in other countries=20
arrived as promised.
I don=B4t have any complaint to make on amazon.com (yes, I have one, they=
=20
don=B4t almost carry Italian books LOL).

I have also had very good luck with Amazon, both the American site and
the British site. Sometimes books arrive in less than a week.
Unfortunately, the British site never has free shipping outside of
Italy.

If you want Italian books, I have also had very good luck with
Internet Book Shop, an Italian site. The URL is www.ibs.it

I never buyed from the British site, since the American one is a bit=20
cheaper for my choice of books. I have a friend here who buys from the=20
Bristish one and she=B4s happy with that as well.

The only time I've ever had an order rescinded by Amazon it was an
Amazon Marketplace order (used book) and the vendor emailed me to say
they didn't have the book anymore. I've never had an issue with them
charging my card for something that wasn't actually shipped.

Everybody seems to think I'm complaining, which I'm not. I *am*
skeptical for a couple of reasons.

1. The price. This book retails for $50-53 everywhere I've found it.
Ordering from UK doesn't produce any savings because shipping a book
this size is a bit pricy.

2. The website initially told me the book is in stock for immediate
shipment regardless of shipping method but the follow-up "status
report" states they can't ship until the first week of June.

1 combined with 2 makes me think they won't be able to sell me the $36
book and will instead attempt to upsell me in June to the full retail
price. Or, perhaps they're hoping that by delaying shipment I'll
spring for overpriced "urgent" shipping on my dime.

I meant outside of the UK, of course!
