| 672566 | 2008-05-26 01:52:00 | What sounds right? as I have been looking at getting a genealogical book published by an ancestor of mine the book's about $12 -15 USD but shipping is about $26 USD This is the Book (books.google.com), it's been scanned in to Google books, however only snippets are available with is a bit strange as the book was published 124 years ago, it has recently been reproduced for the genealogical market but I am kind of suprised it isn't out of copyright |

| 672570 | 2008-05-26 04:26:00 | I was going to buy a CD from a Swedish record label, but the 20 euros shipping cost put me off. So there are definitely companies out there that charge like that. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 672571 | 2008-05-26 18:23:00 | Nigel Why don't you choose a cheaper shipping price, like US $16 or UK 7 pounds. It will take longer of course. |

| 672572 | 2008-05-27 11:19:00 | www.abebooks.com $16.28 NZ for book, and $21.60 for P & P. Barring a special offer from Ferrit, Abebooks has been cheaper for every book I've looked at, even after P & P... |

| 672573 | 2008-05-27 20:38:00 | Long time ago I ordered a few books from the USA and I picked the 3-week shipping (yeah, real shipping) as the option and it was frickin cheap - can't remember how cheap, but worth it. sarel |
