With all the bad publicity these have had with the way it treats its workers I decided to check out my books elsewhere. Looked up a book on Amazon then checked who else was selling the same book via its "new & used" option then went directly to that companies website.

Upshot I found the book slightly dearer BUT cheaper overall as there wasn't any postage to pay for and I'm guessing no fee to Amazon :lol:

£9.23 off Wordery post free or would have been closer to 11.00 off Amazon with postage. Amazon did have it off them at 9.25 with free delivery but that's pretty slow if you're not an Amazon Prime user/member.

Teach me to look around more :grin:
