Has anyone else bought stuff from there in Febuary by debit/credit card only to find that they've taken the money FIVE times out of their bank ???
I asked for an explanation and all i got was "it's a computer error....you should get your money back sometime next week"
I know of at least two other people who have had this done to them....one was in mid Feb and they still haven't got their money back.
I'm going up there today and i'm going to remove £150 of books...just for a few weeks. I'm sure i can explain that it's a "computer error"

How else do you think they can afford to sell the books for such low prices ?
Seriously, I work in the book trade and they've driven lots of good booksellers out of business. Their prices are good, but they carry a much smaller range than real bookshops and won't order titles for customers unless they have them in their warehouse. Also the staff know bugger all about books.
They make their money through a combination of getting low overheads on the shop sites, selling overpriced stationery and buying in bulk from publishers, who give them up to 70% discount on the cover price. And charging people several times over!
They were bought by Easons, an Irish bookshop chain, two or three years ago.

Check your statements; I had payments 5 payments taken out in MAR but I have not been in there this month!!! Luckily the bank have re-imbursed the money but are treating it as Fraud. It is hassle; but we had to have all cards cancelled so as no more payments could be taken.

The same 5 times thing has happened to me. Adds up to a lot when that happens. They say it'll be sorted by the end of the week. I sincerely hope so.

They said that to me nearly 2 weeks ago. There are loads of people being stung like this.
I phoned the head office and they agreed....rather reluctuntly, to give me the outstanding amount back in cash, which they did.

I like the walk along the ouse to Hamsey church, the view from the top of the Castle, Pells pool, the antique shops and boot fair, the lion in the window of the 15c bookshop, keere street
