Most of the things I was interested in were labeled nick and dent with no ability to return them and I like to keep my stuff in good condition so I think i will hold off.

where does it say that?Oh, I just assumed after you said you hated Americans for having sales like this. If that isn't what you meant, I may just place it after all. Though, I may have to trim down my 37 book order.

No, I'm in the UK.
I can still order, but postage costs more than my order and then I'd have to pay customs on top of that... no sale for me :(

Im the same. Im a condition nazi at least when I first purchase a book. I have sent my fair share back to amazon due to inadequate packaging.

they tax us on everything here. if i buy something from outside the EU then I have to pay customs duty, VAT and a royal mail handling fee. :(

Recieved my shipment today. The nick and dent books came in EXCELLENT condition. This is my first experience with this retailer but I'll shop there again definitely.
