What a nightmare, entering a new credit card number. I had to do it three &%#$ times!
I have shopped here before and found good values. However, it really it difficult for me to justify shipping charges, when I normally don't pay anything with Amazon (because of Prime) or Thrift Books, which is free on an order of this amount.
