Error 404

I realized I never completed the half.com saga. Well I never did get the books, but luckily half.com was nice and honest and gave me my money back. So will I buy from them again? Yes, but next time I'll pay more attention to the ratings of the sellers I buy from. No more buying from someone with only 8 feedbacks.

Okay, so I got screwed by half.com. Two of my books were sold to me by people who have since closed their accounts, and have not shipped books out to at least 5 or so people each (I know this by reading the feedback that started about September 1st or so, people saying "I haven't received my book yet"). Luckily, I should get my money back because half.com is owned by ebay, and they have a money back guarantee thing. Cause otherwise I would be very mad. I'm mad as it is, cause now I need to buy them again and I won't get them for another week. I went practically a month without having books. Stupid half.com.

So a followup on Half.com is necessary here. I am a little disgruntled right now, because I didn't realize until after I bought my books that the estimated shipping period is 7-21 days. I bought my books in the early 20s of August, and I still don't have half of them. School has started, I have reading assignments, and no books. I suppose a lesson to be learned is if you are going to buy books from Half.com you should order them in early August. No later than the 7th, pretty much. Can't beat the price, though.

I recently bought my books for school on half.com, and it was a very pleasant operation. It was very easy to find the books I needed, and the prices really were at least half off what they were listed at. Yay for books bought from anywhere BUT the university bookstore.
