Personal recommendation From my own experience I have always been pleased with the excellent service that Amazon provides and have never once had to return a book or had reason to complain about their products. Also, the fact that they offer free delivery on orders over £15 makes them hard to beat for value.

Online shopping checklist:

  • Do Amazon offer secure online ordering? YES All personal details, including credit card information are encrypted to ensure your transactions are private and protected. Data is coded using advanced techniques and is transferred via a maximum safety connection (SSL)
     
  • Do Amazon charge for home delivery? YES but only for orders less than £5 in value using their ‘Supersaver service’. Other options for faster delivery and special packaging are charged extra.
     
  • How long does delivery take? Amazon offer a following day service, providing items are in stock. Standard delivery can vary quite a bit but generally speaking items can arrive within 7 days. Sometimes multiple item orders are split up and sent individually to speed up delivery. This happens when certain titles may not be immediately available.
