atw: Re: amazon address format

Erisa,

I also buy quite a lot from Amazon.  I almost always seek out the =
'second
hand' section and have never been disappointed in the quality of the =
books I
have purchased.  However, these books are often sold by third parties =
through
Amazon, and some of those have limitations on where they will ship to. =20

Is this the case with your selection?  Can you select another supplier
(within the Amazon list?)

Speaking of service, I ordered a book from one of these third party =
suppliers
on a Thursday.  It was delivered to our local general store at Michelago =
the
following Tuesday.  You don't get much better than that locally!  As a
result, I also buy almost all of my technical books from them.  Seems a =
shame
to send the money overseas, but I like to support efficient businesses.

I have also bought from Barnes and Noble, but the delivery time was much
closer to the quoted six weeks!

I don't always send my money overseas, though.  There are quite a few
excellent on-line or delivery businesses in Australia that I deal with
regularly.  However, it only takes one bad experience (slow delivery, =
poor
quality product) to make you look elsewhere next time.
