Thumbs down Alternative online bookstore

Ordered 10 books on 3rd Feb from Amazon. All with 24hour dispatch. Order still open today with dispatch estimate of 17th . I've cancelled the order. Any good online alternatives, they need to be able to ship EU wide.

Cheers

I've ordered hundreds of books from Amazon and they almost always do a good job. I'm guessing one of the books isn't in stock so they are holding the whole lot, did you choose the free super saver delivery thing? If so, you can change it to allow multiple deliveries but it will cost you a bit more obviously.

They all quoted 24 hour before I ordered, if I could find out which one was delaying I'd delete it.

I had amazon quoting more than 10 weeks for one book, in fact it had an extra charge for being hard to find!

Blackwells had it in stock, next day delivery, job done!

Blackwells aren't bad - Tesco can be good too but don't know about EU delivery ....
