Be aware of additional costs when buying books online. These include: shipping, exchange, foreign taxes, domestic GST/VAT, additional shipping charges you pay on delivery, duty, customs broker fees, and the latest to nail me, a collection fee to pay for collecting cash for a GST fee. You will almost always be quite unpleasantly surprised when you add it all up. Books online are usually slightly more expensive than buying them locally. Further, delivery is 4 to 12 weeks unless you pay extra.
The main advantages of online books are the wide selection, 24 hour service without leaving your home and the low warehouse and staff overhead for the vendor. The main disadvantages are you cannot browse the books, and you have to wait for them to be delivered.
