For used books, avoid Discover Books!

[bif]

Here's my story: I use Biblio or Alibris for used books to avoid Amazon. So I found a book I was looking for on Biblio, for under $5. And free shipping. I live in Detroit and Discover Books had it. I chose them because they were supposedly in Toledo, and I figured Id get it pretty quickly. Well, after a few days, I checked on the tracking. An independent shipper was waiting for the book almost a week after I ordered it. And the facility was in Rhode Island. Then after a few days it went to York PA. Now it's on it's way to Glendale, IL where the USPS is waiting for its arrival. Almost two weeks after I ordered it! I could have ridden my bike there and back in less time than it's taking!
