...why? Is it balls to the walls import tariffs or something? I mean, bulgaria isnt that far from england, and getting english books in germany isnt bad. I thought you were in fucking mongolia or something.

>> No.15682021

>>15681859
i'am trying out https://www.bookdepository.com/ and is the VAT included in the total price or no, becase it only looks like it added up the item costs?

>> No.15682097

>>15682021
It probably adds until the end, but for what I remember everything is added already on the price

>> No.15682157

>>15682097
yeah i saw, it does, thanks for the recommendation already made an order. What happens if i'm not there to pick it up though consideriing time of arrival can be completely random?

>> No.15682191

Fellow ESL here, buy from bookdepository. Shipping is free. Not free as in "included in the price tag" but actually free - The prices are most of the time lower or equal to amazon

It will be probably delivered by your country postal system. So you probably have to go to the post office, but better check with them.

>> No.15682219

>>15682157
Are you new to online shopping anon?That depends on your countries delivery service, though in my country the package is sent back to the local post office where you can pick it up.

yes, i don't remember ever buying anyhing online that wasn't digital so i'am just weirded out considering the time frame in which in can arrive can vary in days. I guess i'am just supposed to check the postal office on the last day of expectancy if no one actually comes to my house.
