Dispatching will take some time but it is an absolute bargain. Thanks OP.

Deep Thought

Bargain, cheers OP

£9 shipping so you'd be as well to get some more orders in to get to £25 and thus qualify for free delivery

Bollox, just put in a big order yesterday for a load of camping stuff.

Has ended up costing me way more than the £5 as I've managed to justify a couple of other purchases to get me over the free delivery mark!

First thing I've ordered from Amazon since the Euro took a nose dive!

hi thanks op
whats the difference between this and reference edition

dingding

I have this and it is an excellent atlas.

dingding

The reference edition has a lot less pages, so there is probably more content in the Universal edition.

ene

thanks op! something else i dont need!

will look lovely on the coffee table though!

Thanks me too.

Ordered 3, a phone case and a logitech k400 keyboard and it split into two deliveries, one free and the other approx 15 shipping.

Any ideas, thanks

Pity, seems to be over, you might have been able to cancel your order then add this:(

Atlantic Dawn

It appears to be over now, looked like great value and great reviews.

Can someone answer me why it's something I would need if I had internet access to the likes of Google Maps/Earth etc, does it offer anything unique?

sweetie

It'll probably be £5 again, the reviews mention it been reduced previous to this in feb

I got it for £3 last year. It should go down again.

Thargor

Set an alert for it on Camelcamelcamel and get an email when it drops, Ive seen this offer before.

Back in November...

Cyclonius

It's actually back to £5 now; just put in an order myself.

whomitconcerns

just ordered it for 5£..well used some vouchers I had from a previous bargain alert £10 for £20 voucher. So picked this and a few others up for the princely sum of £4.49

Supercell

Nabbed one myself (and something else i didn't know i needed!), great stuff

tried it again on android app, mobile site and normal website, no free postage. It's splitting my order in two but won't give me option to send as one delivery...

Rackstar

Really want to get this. Haven't used amazon much previously. How do I get the free shipping or cheaper shipping?

deise08

Thanks very much bromley
every house should have one.
Just ordered mine there, and one for the parents.

If you spend 25 you qualify for free delivery.

Also if you pay in GBP it works out about 1 euro cheaper than paying in EUR.

I'd say the phone case screwed you up. All items need to be at the very least, "fulfilled by Amazon" to qualify for free delivery. I'd guess the case was from a marketplace seller which won't qualify. Oh, and make sure you select "free delivery" option !

Some Q & A here for future reference:

Same thing happened to me, order was split in two. One order had option of free delivery and the other wouldn't give that option. All items were sold by amazon.
I contacted amazon using the chat function, and they said it was a bug on the system, to place the order and they would refund the extra shipping cost.

I had the same problem on the phone. I managed to find the issue. They never gave the option to select postage and had auto selected the middle option. Had to go into postage myself and change it for free delivery.

Bargain alerts strikes again...

Bought it yesterday. No issues.

when using Parcel Motel for my order I was given free UK postage if my or was for £10 or more on books

"FREE Delivery in the UK on orders with at least £10 of books"

So I ordered this Marvel book as well .

I ordered the same! Ordered other stuff to make up to 25 for delivery here. That marvel book looks a BA in itself.

vicwatson

Yay mine arrived today, even better than Monday, this is excellent for the price, nice find op, about A4 size in a carboard folder.

Pique

Got mine too. Nice but I'd be very disappointed to pay £50 for it. About 350 pages with 100 of them being the index.

For £5 you can't go wrong.

vicwatson

These are still at 5£ lads and lassies

The lips

65euro on books later.....ouch

slave1

Ah feck it, picked one up to get me over the £25 mark on other purchases, I always keep a rake of so/so stuff in my 'saved for later' to get the free P&P

Supercell

I can't get free postage on this for some reason, i decided to get another as an xmas present with the marvel book and another couple of things , all of which qualify for free super saver delivery but the books are always separated and chargeable delivery, does it have to be £25 in books as well to get the free delivery? If so probably will just parcel motel the books as they are free delivery to NI

Hagar7

Anyone bought the book and the cover is upside down?

ActingDanClark

Maybe you're holding it wrong way round?

vicwatson

Or perhaps you are standing on your head?

duridian

Nah, they probably just sent the Australian edition by mistake :-p
