Your book prices are nice, but your shipping is way too high. $4.49 per book? That is just unreasonable. I've been customer since the 1990's and the shipping is cost prohibitive (I'm a teacher).
Because your book prices are good. But I didn't remember you would charge so much for shipping. The blaming Brexit for shipping delays? Have you ever blamed abortion for killing millions of students and therefore hurting your sales? Stop attacking the conservatives.

I would prefer to be able to check out as a guest, to have that option, even though I also have an account with you. That way I don't always have to look up or update my password. Also, shipping costs are high, and some prices for copies of books are extremely high. Overall I had a good experience. Thank you.
I prefer not to use Amazon, when possible.

Product page said that expedited shipping available for this item from this seller. On checkout, there was nothing available but the slowest shipping service.

So, I ordered a book. Went to PayPal to pay. Went to check out. The book was gone. Came back & searched again. Put it back in the cart & checked out. I will now see if it shows up.

The shopping experience was fine - my trouble was trying to find the right email account to log in under and resetting my password. Once that happened though it was smooth sailing.
Good prices!

Easy to navigate and locate what I was looking for and helpful, appropriate, applicable options were pushed forward based upon what I initially selected. I took advantage of one of these.
I came up when I searched on line for the product I wanted (Bing).
Date of experience: June 12, 2021
Description that a book "may" have writings, markings etc. is not useful, especially when the seller states that it is unable to state whether the book does in fact have them.
I prefer to use independent booksellers
