    I'm trying to order Grisham's upcoming signed book but the bookstore doesn't accept orders with CCs from outside USA. If anyone could purchase it for me (shipping is to Miami) I'd appreciate it a lot. I can pay via PayPal.

    Ari. Have you tried using a PayPal debt card? I've had success with that with international purchases that don't accept PayPal outright. My bank doesn't allow for international transactions.

    Most welcome. I don't use CC's and my bank will not make any exceptions for international debt card transactions. For good reason I suppose. So I discovered the PayPal debt card workaround I was always under the impression that CC's could be used worldwide though. Visa, MC, etc.

    I'm trying to transfer a fairly large amount on PP F/F to Canada (CAD) but my "preferred payment option isn't available". I'm being hit with a ridicuolous transfer fee. Has anyone else had this happen? How else can I suggest to tranfer the money, but without the seller having to pay a currency transfer fee? He's fallen on hard times and is selling a book to make ends meet.

    Does the transfer fee exist if you pay regularly (not f&f)?

    Yes. Actually no, the fee isn't there paying as a transaction. But it's a wash with the 2.9% transaction fee to get him the asking price. I was asked by someone else if I had funds to cover it in my account and I more than do. Is it because of my number of recent transfers?

    I don't know the answer to the transfer question but don't you as the payer, pay the 2.9% normally to transfer via f&f? If thats the case just add 2.9% to your transfer and bingo bango, sale done.

    Nevermind, I see that its supposed to be free with checking account but not with credit or debit card.

    I called PP. They say it's because the recipient's PP account isn't verified. True, I can increase to account for the 2.9%, and have added piece of mind, but he's a long-time, trusted collector...just doesn't have a verified account. There should be no need for anything more than a $4.99 charge on my end.

    If the seller is a long time, trusted collector, have you considered sending money via an IBAN transfer?

    I recently used Western Union to send some money to my Brother in Law in Australia. It was done via bank transfer with zero transfer fees and a rate almost identical with the interbank transfer rate (so almost zero currency conversion cost).

    I also use Revolut (which also is zero cost and interbank rate) but that requires the recipient to have a Revolut account
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Turns out he is fully verified. I did a mock transfer to two other international contacts with only a $4.99 fee. He has a buddy that did a mock transfer to him and got the same minimal fee. I sent the money to his buddy to send to him. There was a glitch that couldn't be explained.

    There’s a signed book that Waterstones only offers as a Click and Collect (in person in-store) — site says the signed edition is Sold Out for on-line ordering— but it looks like many locations have it in stock. Is by chance anyone in the UK planning on a Waterstones visit sometime soon…?

    https://www.waterstones.com/book/the.../9781789099126

    EDIT: Sorry, please ignore…I just checked the author’s Events page, and it looks like he’s hitting a few bookstores (here in the States), so I’ll just pick up a signed copy that way. It won’t have the cool black edgestain, but that’s okay.

    Damn, I was all excited since the signed U.S. copies I’ve run across have unfortunately been bookplate signatures from virtual events…but Forbidden Planet says their copies are no longer available. :-(

    It kills me that edgestained signed copies are, according to the Waterstones site, just sitting there in multiple stores…but they won’t ship ‘em.

    EDIT: So I guess my original request still stands…if anybody happens to be planning a trip to Waterstone’s in the near future, let me know. Thanks.

    EDIT 2.0 — 8/3/21. I ended up grabbing a copy off eBay, so ignore the above request, as I’m covered now.

    Does anyone live in Illinois or Wisconsin? This is not book related - I just want to buy a pair of flip flops at this shoe store - Rogans Shoes. Apparently the ones I want are at two locations - one in each state. But for some reason these stores will not ship out of state. I even called their online store and these particular shoes are in store only on website and will not ship them...WTF - in this day and age they won't ship out of their state ???
    They are like $40 pair of shoes that are several years old, they have 1 in stock at each store and they still won't ship them...so if anyone can help out please send a PM
    Thanks

    You can use a service like a UPS store to transship for you. You'll have to set it up with them in advance. They charge a "reasonable" fee for the service.

    I'm very sorry to spam this thread, but I've searched the forum and I think this might be the best place to ask a question I have. I am based in the UK and would like to purchase a book from the Thornwillow Press. Is anyone aware of how much duty/import tax would have to paid or whether books are exempt?
