How can I buy books from Amazon without incurring really high postage costs?

Question

I want to purchase about 12 childrens new and used paper back books.

The cost of postage is twice as much as the cost of the books, how can I avoid this cost?

Is there another online seller who can beat Amazon's overall prices?

Thanks

Answer 1

Some places give you free delivery

Or with Amazon if you spend over £15 the delivery is free so try that.

Or at the moment Waterstones has free delivery on their books in the UK so perhaps try from there too?

Answer 2

The have special savers over £25

Answer 3

Wherever you go you will have to pay the postage costs.

Books are heavy that is why you pay for postage.

Answer 4

Postage on Amazon is free when you spend over £15. Make sure you're on .co.uk not .com.

Answer 5

i bought some stuff of bookrabbit recently - a brilliant site, beat amazon's prices and free postage too!

if you want second-hand stuff, why not try swap sites?
