On another note if you are buying from Amazon try out flubit.. doesn't work always a cheaper price than Speedyhen or wordery but sometimes I did get a good deal..

I mentioned flubit.com some time ago. I also use them from time to time and have managed to get several good deals from them. Unfortunately, they don't accept prices from all the amazon.co.uk marketplace sellers as they used to in order to give you a better price. For example, they used to offer me books cheaper than prices quoted by "books_any" but not any more.

Anyone else stopped getting emails from speedyhen? I used to get order confirmation + shipping notes. Is it just my ISP's spam filter?

Yeah, I think it limits marketplace seller comparisons only to UK based sellers.

I used Flubit a lot over the last couple of years and they're generally good, but their customer support leaves a lot to be desired. I had an issue with a book I ordered from Wordery through Flubit, so used Flubit's support console as it suggested. Didn't get a response at all. Contacted Wordery directly and they assured me they'd replied, but I guess it didn't get passed along the chain.

Yes, their customer service isn't the best at getting back to you on time.

Hoping the next part of CGN's sale actually happens today...

Sure was

I sent an angry email and was basically told to screw off even though they left it up for 3 weeks like that. Figures

Well, donno if anybody is interested in these but could worth a shot checking out amazon.it (and other amazons). Got the doctor Who prisoners of time deluxe hc and the first IDW Corto Maltese tpb from them together for like £30,5. Considering that the DW deluxe is oop and usually going for £30 or at least £25, I would say that was a nice deal.

Just discovered (and reaped the benefit of) the Tales of Wonder loyalty program. For every $50 you spend with them in a month, they'll email you $5 in gift certificates at the beginning of the subsequent month. Pretty cool.

**The_Dark_Knight** · 07-06-2015, 07:29 PM

Amazon has a $10 pre-order price for Batman: Road to No Man's Land vol 1. Pretty good for a $30 book.

**Balakin** · 07-07-2015, 12:44 AM

Rakuten has a today only 15% coupon FASHION15.
It should only work on fashion items but I applied to my basket and it deducted the 15% however I didn't complete the purchase so maybe it would have been cancelled.
Anybody fancy trying it out? I don't want to loose my superpoints in case of cancelling then wait for them to reappear.

That would make New Avengers Omnibus about £42 which I what I got it for last month. Would try but nothing I really want for the prices (even at 85%). Maybe Millar Wolverine at around £30 with discount

Tried it, doesn't work. When placed the order it said "enter valid voucher code". Oh well...

Amazon US has Image volume 1's and even other volumes going for only 5 to 7 dollars each. In fact, Southern Bastards Vol. 2 is going for 3 and a half dollars! THREE AND A HALF DOLLARS! I will link everyone to Amazon's Image catalog so that you can get a picture on what I am talking about.
