    I literally just ordered my first Blackwells (ulysses from the everyman's library) a few hours ago. You have impeccable timing.

    The problem is not just being able to order books in English in non-English speaking countries, but also being able to order books in OTHER languages from the same Book Depository. They had a wide-ranging selection in many languages (French, Spanish, German, Turkish, even Swedish etc.). Now that is gone and you either have to settle for Amazon or adventure yourself in the world of individual national platform that may or may not ship to your country. If you live in the EU you will have a better chance, but usually at significant shipping costs. It would probably be cheaper per item to hop on a low-cost flight, book a hotel for 2 nights and go shopping yourself.

      Romans 6.23
      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    I had the exact same problem with my order! The pages were torn precisely where yours were. However, I have not found another alternative to our greatly-missed Book Depositery, so I think I'll stick with Blackwells for now:)
    thanks for your review!!

    I hope your future Blackwell's purchases won't have bent covers. I was quite disappointed to see that, as I have been considering ordering from them.

    I was very sad to hear that Covid cause the family that owned since it open to sell it. Also, Waterstones was the one who bought them.

    I don't know, why everytime I visit Blackwell website, all the books showing "notify me" instead the price, meaning that it out of stock. But why?

  • @laurafisherreads
    @laurafisherreads Před rokem +1

    :( I found Blackwell's to be incredibly slow to actually ship books, then it takes a month or more to get to me. I'm guessing they don't keep stock on hand, rather order in and drop-ship.
    Did you contact them about the damage, and what resolution, if any, was offered?

      They also tell you how long it should take to ship on the product page, it can vary a lot, anything from the next say to over 2 weeks.

    Can you tell me how much your order took to arrive? I’m worried because I’m using Blackwells for the first time and I purchased a trilogy (in the same order) and the first book arrived in 2 weeks but book 2 and 3 is no where to be seen. I don’t know if I should just wait more or try to contact them.

    • @PontusPresents
      @PontusPresents  Před rokem

      It took a month for the book to arrive, so I wouldn’t worry. ☺️
