Do deliveries actually take three to five working days with 
www.play.com
?
That is, if I order an in-stock book today, will I receive it on, say, next
Monday? Giovanni Bajo said so about a year ago, but I've no idea if it's
still the case.
I gather from what I've read in this ng in the past that items are sent
separately, so if I order an in-stock title and an out-of-stock title at a
time, I shouldn't risk getting *both* books after four to twenty-one
working days, right?
Will I pay any expenses independent of 
play.com
 (i.e. customs duties)? I've
read in an old post that books appear to be sent from Switzerland, but I
don't really know if this implies I won't.
A poster was enthusiastic about the packaging in November, so I'm confident
in this respect.
Bye, FB

 Switzerland, but I don't really know if this implies I won't.
Mine were shipped from the UK.
Anyway, they could get lost. A month ago an order of mine got lost, the 
books never arrived. After 14 days you can tell them and they'll send 
you the books again, free of charge of course. Anyway this has happened 
to me just one time out of about twenty.

Fino agli ultimi di gennaio c'erano i titoli della Penguin Classics e della
Wordsworth Classics a 0.99Ł o 1.49Ł, spedizione ovviamente compresa.
Dato il prezzo irrisorio ne ho presi una decina di quei libri, peccato pero'
che da febbraio tutti quei titoli non sono piů disponibili, nč
visualizzabili nel catalogo.
(riesco a vederli solo cliccando, nel mio account, in uno dei libri che ho
acquistato, da cui si apre una finestra con la scritta "unavailable").
Tschüss,

For a while you had me... wondering... 'how does he know?'. Because my

 was the Harry Potter box set. Then I

Sure. At least, for DVDs, but I have no reasons to believe that it should be
different for books.

It never turned me down at least. Two times, the item did not arrive (hello,
post services); I complained after 4-5 weeks by mail and they just reshipped it
again, kindly asking me to return the original if it ever arrived (and it never
did).
Now, insert here your favourite rant against Italian postal service. Please,
do. I really hate Italian 
PP.TT
., they screw up more often than not. Heck, I
mailed a letter from Florence to Gorizia and it took fourteen bloody days to
arrive. Fourteen, one four. I mean, why are they still allowed to operate like
this?
