What are Eason's delivery charges like? That Calvin & Hobbes thing is very heavy (bought it a while ago on Amazon).

It's free at the moment if you spend more than €10.
I can confirm it from experience.

Yep, ordered Tuesday 18:56, shipped Wednesday 14:34 and arrived at work Thursday 10:30. Must weigh about 7 or 8 kilos so I'm going to have fun lugging it home.

Now the only problem seems to be that Easons have taken 40 quid from my Laser card ... twice.

Just ordered there. Bit concerned about the fact that the page were I entered my CC details was being reported by Chrome as NOT secure!

If I notice anything dodgy on my CC over the next few months, I'll know who to blame!

Ordered on the 20th. Got an email yesterday saying it had just been shipped! If you haven't received notification of shipping by Friday, then I'd definitely get in touch with them.

Ordered a couple of weeks ago and heard nothing so rang them last friday.
They were out of stock.

Got mail on Tuesday to say it had shipped, delivery arrived yesterday.
Well impressed with it, I must say.

For anyone that might be interested, this offer seems to be available once more....

Can anyone confirm rumours about the binding being a bit weak on these though?

- These some scare stories on Amazon about the pages being glued in and then falling out.... this would irritate me beyond belief.

Link is same as eoghand's original link

Yeah, it looks as if the under-anticipated demand and didn't have enough stock for everyone. However, although the link was there this morning, they've taken it back down again! looks like they have serious issues with stock control!

With regards the binding, I can't say I've noticed anything yet. But, then again, they are still brand new and relatively unused!

I had long given up on this. (Ordered over a month ago)

Just got a confirmation saying that it has now been shipped.

Well that caught me by suprise.
