Dear Max,

Thank you for your new inquiry.

1. Make Your Words Work: The price would be 6000 Ft.- ($30) (unfortunately we can only order it with bad conditions). Our wholesaler doesn't have it in stock but they ordered it. Unfortunately we can't promise an exact shipping time. It can be here in 5-6 weeks but delay is also possible.

2. Techniques of the Selling Writer: It would be 7200 Ft.- ($36) and it can be here 4 weeks.

With Kind Regards,

[quote=me to Bestsellers Kft.]Hey Zita,

Woah, Techniques of the Selling Writer is £14.25 ($22.87) on Amazon.uk, that's 4,483 HUF. Is the 7,200 HUF price for a hardback edition? If so, then please check the paperback editions. If it's for the paperback, are there any more cost-effective options?

Make Your Words Work is £12.56 ($20.16)which is 3,952 HUF... :(

Please kindly check if the price you've advised is final, if it is, I'd rather order from Amazon.uk.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,

I have not received a reply as of yet. I'm not sure why I have to pay $66 instead of $43. I mean, that's $23 just for the hassle of having to go to the post office instead of their shop. That's some pretty bad conditions, I say. Damn!

If bookstores knew what they were doing they wouldn't all be going out of business.

waaah people aren't shopping here anymore because amazon doesn't charge taxes!

I will. I was just shocked. Also I would've preferred dealing with these guys rather than with the post office workers, tbh, but not for $20+.

I don't know about you British people and your 'royal mail' business but around here the postman just leaves the box at your door. You never even have to see him.

He's ordering from Amazon.uk so he has to at least wish he was British.

Most books here come in boxes thin enough to go through letter boxes.
nope.
