I ordered a new book online from England on Saturday. Paperback - 775 pages - 775gm Cost - $21-79 - no codes or coupons - that's the price to anyone - just published so it's not remaindered stock. GST - $1.99 delivery - free How can anybody be making money out of that?

I don't know but basic principles they produce the book cheaply, sell it at a mark up of at least 100%, and ship many items to various countries in one lot, would not be a container load I guess, but multiple items substantially reduces cost, and no doubt they have an agreement for reduced shipping costs.
My theory anyway, probably wrong, just as well I am not in business

And what was wrong with going to a book shop and ordering through them?
No wonder high unemployment. Dont complain of stagnant wages when you send your business overseas!

I normally just go to the local library.
Plenty of good quality and often brand new books available. Doesn’t cost a cent either. |

Posting books from the UK to Australia is cheap compared to posting from the USA to Australia
They sell them cheap and would be still making a profit |
