Amazon Or Dogwise

As per title. I can get the book I want from either - same price.

Has anyone found a difference in the turn around time for delivery, or do you think it is much of a muchness?

I deal with both but it has been a while since I've needed to, and never really took much notice of the turn around time by comparison.

I have never used Dogwise so I cannot comment on their delivery times...

But I have used Amazon on numerous occasions and have found their postage/delivery time to be superb. Often the website will give a date of 3-4 weeks from the time you have placed your order, yet I seem to receive the books or items I have ordered from Amazon within 5-7 working days.

What title do you want? We have a reseller account with Dog wise and several hundred titles on hand.

Thanks PF. I saw the Fishpond one but I think it is too expensive. DogWise and Amazon have the book at $29.95 USA (equivalent to $32.25 AUS). Shipping to Australia is about $25.00.

If you're not in a hurry I can order one for you when we put our next order in - it will be way under that.

Hi Erny

I usually order from the Book Depository in the UK. Postage is FREE world wide, and their prices are cheaper than anywhere I have found, almost always (and then the free postage makes a huge difference). I am really happy with their service.

Here is the link to the book you were after:

http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/97809...with-Blind-Dogs

Each time I have ordered the books have arrived in regional WA within about 10 working days.

Works out as $34.55 in Aussie dollars.

KK - in this instance, Fishpond are $71.97 (AUS)

If I purchase through DogWise direct, it would work out to be $57.95 total (including shipping).

So to purchase local (ie through Fishpond) is going to cost an additional $14.00. Shipping is between 8-15 days and I think (from memory) DogWise is within that perimeter as well (approximately speaking)

I'm ordering through MDBA, as it turns out. Need to wait up a bit for the next order to go through, but I can do that :thumbsup:.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the comments. I will check out Fishpond as a possible alternative for next time - would prefer to purchase intra-Australia where I can, but their prices need to be a bit more competitive than what the price on this individual book has indicated.

Yep I ALWAYS use Book Depo these days - only exception is if they do not have the book I want

No idea why UK postage is so much faster than US?????? I ordered a DVD from a UK Equestrian site and it was here in 3 days!

Wow, book depository have good prices :laugh: I'll be bookmarking that website. :(

They are fantastic PF - I really cannot rave enough about them. I have easily bought at least 60 ( :rofl: ) books from them and the most I ever waited for a book was two weeks but the norm is for it to be here in a week

The guys at the Post Office roll their eyes at me now, but I've even got them onto the site :thumbsup:

Rozzy - Thank you so much for that link. The price is excellent given no shipping costs. I've placed my order with them. Appreciate that. :thumbsup:

I feel a bit guilty for cancelling the arrangement for MDBA to get the book in for me (refer my telephone message on your answer machine, Steve), but I hope you understand.

Cheers

Erny

ETA: I could easily while away a bit of time watching people buying from around the world and seeing where all the dog mad people live LOL

Have just fallen in love with the Book Depository - they stock the book series I've been reading and sell them for around $13 when I've been paying $17 at Fishpond (mind you, they were $24 from the bookshop).

Thanks for the link :thumbsup:

ETA - you can also search for audio books, which are great for car trips.
