Hello Arelor!

Advance payment is something that the shop has traditionally not  
done. Most of the time, the locals would be honourable and  
commit to their requests and pay upon receipt of merchandise.

But I am guessing that in light of people getting more and more  
familiar with ordering online at the place that starts with A  
and the place that starts with I, and maybe even other online  
books shops, they probably change their mind on the initial  
special-order with me when they can get a lower price elsewhere.

I ought to at least insist on a non-fundable deposit or  
something.

I just hate using the phone - period.

I'm also not happy with the model that I have.
