My first card with you bounced as you had Barnet as my payment address when it should have been Brent.

Maybe computer system changed since I last ordered, but I had great difficulty logging in, with my password not accepted.

Your order system is not working. I kept having to enter my card details time and time again. That is twice today it has played up.

It was unclear why an item shipped from the US to a US address should incur international shipping charges. I tried re-entering the shipping address many times to see if the shipping cost would be updated to a US internal postage. Nothing changed from the ¢11.99 shipping charge, so I had to change the source country of the book to the UK find a cheaper copy. This means it might take a great deal longer to arrive. I am disappointed in the experience which was extremely opaque, and the item may now not arrive in time for Christmas

The shipping costs were increased several times during the process. I ended up paying 3€ more than the first page let me believe.

So far so good but need to see when the book arrives. Only 3 stars as better payment options would be welcomed

The book is being shipped by a seller in the US, to me, a buyer in the US, yet I am being charged for "international shipping". Selling from state to state within the US is not "international", it's "intranational" and should not be charged extra. I won't forget that.
