Be warned - it is r...e.....a.......l........ slow shipping. My order was placed on August 5th for 3 books. My status still says that it hasn't shipped. I emailed to find out what was going on and they said - gee, you picked free super-saver and that means that we can consolidate and ship everything at once when we get everything ready. Meanwhile, each of the three books says normally ships in 24 hours. You can bet that if I paid normal shipping, I would have had them in a couple of days or less as normal.

The response was lame and their excuse was lame. And, if they ship it "media mail" rate, which used to be book rate, that can mean up to 2 weeks to cross the country. What the hell are they thinking?

I have even bought books overseas via Amazon.uk, but may well switch to a different vendor now for both US and UK sales.

claffeyb, I recently placed an order with them and used the free shipping and got all my stuff pretty quick. My guess is that one of your books is not in stock and they are waiting for it to arrive so they can ship it to you in one box. Even though they say it "normally" ships in twenty four hours it may be out of stock that day and they have to get more.

Also, my gold box disappeared for good in both browsers. Has others lost their gold box?? Is it still around??

I bought two books about a month ago using the Super Saver shipping and got my books in next day. I guess it all depends on what you order and if it is in stock.

Odd...I ordered some speakers with the free shipping at Amazon, and they shipped it via FedEx 2-Day Air. I was amazed to get it just a few days after ordering, since there was free shipping.

I have placed two orders with them in the last 10 days or so, got one out of 7-8 products I ordered, all the rest show mid sept or so for ship/delivery dates.....ya its slow, but ya its free! Stack on some coupon codes or anyone of the GC's you got free by doing other hotdeals and this is almost a small bonfire, not to mention the 2% ebates....

I e-mailed customer service about the disappearing GoldBox, and this is the reply I got:


"Lastly, with regards to your inquiry about the Gold Box offer, from
time to time, we test both new and existing features on our web
site to determine which characteristics or services drive customer
purchases and satisfaction. We are continually fine-tuning our
presentation to provide our customers with the greatest value,
selection, and information for their online purchasing decisions.

During these test periods, certain aspects of our web site will
appear differently to randomly selected customers, or to the same
customer on different computers or browsers. Gold Box is one such
test.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please be assured
that this test is only temporary. Also, I have passed your comments
along to the appropriate person in our company. We always value
customer feedback like yours as it helps us continue to improve the
service and selection we provide."


And then my GoldBox magically reappeared!
