Silly question I know but now we are in Spain do I still order off the UK site and have it posted out here? Do the items arrive OK or do they wander around the ether never to arrive???!!

Re: Amazon
 

I have known people to order from them and have deliveries here ok. We have bought off them but had item delivered to UK address as someone was coming over and bought parcel with them. Have bought off e bay and delivery here was no problem.

Re: Amazon
 

Just to confirm yes order from them often, and ebay, and play.com all ok here in Denia :)

Re: Amazon
 

I order from amazon all the time and have never had a problem with delivery over here - just change the address when you place the order

some market place items can not be sent to Spain though - I think its the seller who chooses that option as to whether they will or wont post stuff overseas

Re: Amazon
 

Thanks all - we wil go ahead and order. Running out of books to read!!!

Re: Amazon
 

We've ordered plenty, and never had a problem.

Hey Sue,

There is a great English book shop in Calpe. On the Miro (high) street. Why not pay them a visit first ;)

I order from UK Amazon and have only had one package go missing, the customer service were great they just re-issued the book and cd although I did have it sent to UK address the 2nd time but that was only because family were due out. Last book I ordered I received it 4 days after I ordered it....:thumbsup:




This is a good place to order books in English, they are based in Germany so postage was cheaper and paid in Euros. WWW/english-book-service.com

Re: Amazon
 

Thanks for all your help everyone. Martha do you know the name of the street in Calpe and I will try and find it on the map?

Re: Amazon
 

I cant believe it was for BOOKS !
I thought you was gonna order a new laptop for me. ;-)

Re: Amazon
 

Sue,

It's the Gabriel Miro Street. It is the main Calpe street with all the shops running from the Old Town (on top) all the way down to the beach front. Can't miss it.

The name of the book store is: BookWorld Espana Calpe

The shop assistants are English and it's got loads of books and if they don't have what you're after, you can order it from them.

Description:
Suppliers of new books, greeting cards, games and gift wrapping. At Centro Comercial Perlamar Calpe.

Tel: 965 831 751

BookWorld España are also in the original office/shop in San Pedro de Alcantara, Puerto Banus opposite El Corte Ingles & in Fuengirola and maybe other places:cool:

Re: Amazon
 

Also, at the News Cafe (one floor up from the Mas Y Mas supermarket) Plaza Central in Calpe, they do a book exchange. If you bring in a book to exchange it is €1.50 and if you don't, then it's €3.00.

They don't have a massive selection, but once in a while I find a good read there ;)

Re: Amazon
 

I gotta tell you though, they seemed quite pricey, but then again we buy either off ebay or at the local markets around here

Re: Amazon
 

Yes, that is true!

The prices are a bit high, but we have found that when we buy off the web, the postage costs are incredibly high, especially for books.

We also buy from the markets from time to time and also exchange with friends very regularly.

Now that you reminded me......Sue, on Wednesdays there is a Rastro type market in Calpe that also does second hand books. It is near the Mas Y Mas supermarket - Plaza Central.

Thanks Mitzyboy ;)
