I love BD. Not sure how they shipped for free all over the world. Maybe the high cost of shipping has done them in?

They are owned by Amazon.

That blows.

Not just free shipping, but sometimes the only place I could buy a UK version of something (Circe by Madeline Miller, for example), or a reasonably priced version of something Amazon seemingly jacked up the price of randomly or just wouldn't carry (the 2-volume edition of Steven Wilson's Limited Edition of One, for example, which I couldn't have bought at all if not for BD).

This site does free world wide shipping as well.

I will switch full time to Blackwell's. They do free US shippping and their prices are about the same as BD. Not gonna use UK Amazon if they put them out of business.
