Borders.com and their books.

I'm reposting this from my other blog.

Ok-- Borders is doing what Wal-Mart is doing, which is you order something online and you can have it shipped to the store.

Normally and usually, I just go to the store to pick up the book, but I had a 40% off coupon and you could ship it to the store for free...

I ordered the book Saturday night and I got it today, so the timing was great.

However, the condition of the book was not. the side of the, where the pages are (not the binding) is dirty. The bottom of the cover is a bit creased and the edging is frayed a little.

It doesn't look like a brand new book.

And I would return, but I can't for the simple fact that I won't get it for what I paid for it.

Here are pictures of the book. I just picked it up an hour ago.








I don't think I'm over-reacting. The book came in this crap little cardboard box. They could have at least protected the book somehow. My book looks like a reject copy. I'm just upset. I've already contacted them. I saved $9 by ordering it online, next time I'll just get it at the store. At least I know what I'm getting.



I looked it up online and turns out the $9 that I saved is going to go towards sending the book back... Ugh...



-----------------------------

Here's my entry responding to the things above...

I will have to send the book I ordered back, via USPS... which is going to cost around $9-10, which is what I saved by ordering it online. The book cost me $19 with tax to order it online. I had to pay $23 and change when I went to the store just now. Yeap... But here.. look at the book I got at the store... the previous entry shows the one I ordered. See the difference?




Ta da! I'm a little happier now. I hate going to the same store more than once a day... I feel stupid. Lol...
