Sites like Amazon for Australia? - ADO - 04-08-2014 04:14 AM
I went on Amazon because Ebay had none of the light novels i wanted nor did the book store in my town.
i got hte books in my cart for $70 and then went oh free shipping then noticed its only for USA and Canada -_-.
So it wanted me to pay $150 for some books honestly $70 was alot for a couple of paperback books alone.
Is there any sites for Australia that offer free shipping when over so much cost because honestly what stops me buying stuff is the $50+ shipping they ask me to pay.
There is no kindle etc so you can't read it the only option i have is through documents which people upload which im pretty sure is not legal.
this is really annoying me i want to read this series but can't because shipping costs twice as much as the products itself at times.

There may not be a kindle, but there are still iPhone/iPod/iPad/Android apps that serve the same purpose. There are also things such as the Kobo Ereader, that's one I got a while ago.
I feel your pain, I'm in Australia too and have difficulty accessing some products. But, there are always ways to get those things.

it's too bad they don't have Kindle versions of the novels you like..
I travel quite a bit and use a package forwarding company to forward my purchases from Amazon, ebay etc... It's relatively simple.. the company I use provides me with an address that I use for purchases from Amazon etc.. and then when I want everything forwarded to me they pack it up and ship it off to me..
There are a number of companies like this..
The one I've been using for the last year or so is called Stackry..
nice folks and pretty good with special instructions..
