“So this bookstore is the best of both worlds.
I get that experience of browsing the shelves, which, as a card-carrying nerd, I love a lot.
But I also know I’m getting what is almost definitely the best price possible, thanks to this bookstore.”

“Excellent delivery.
What made the difference for me to buy this product from this store were low shipping costs. Even though my product was only € 15.
For another large chain, shipping costs were charged below a certain amount.”

I ordered some of them and I got the package the next day already and neatly. Super happy!”
