| - I dare you to find a faster way to get a book in your hands (short of getting off your butt and actually buying it at the store). I know, I know - sometimes you just "need" that new book RIGHT. EFFING. NOW. But honestly, aren't you just going to be adding it to the "to read" shelf (or bookcase) with the others? No? That's just me? Oh geez.
Well anyhoodle, wsually what I do is keep an Amazon wishlist so I can read all of the reviews and ratings (Chapters just can't compete with the volume of ratings that amazon.com has) and then price compare online with Chapters. The combination of Chapters' online price and the 5% iRewards discount means that the prices are unbeatable for new books.
Orders over $39 get you free delivery (come on, is it really that hard to find 3-4 books or DVDs that you want?) and the delivery is lightning fast. They say 3-6 business days but I've never had it take more than 3. Like, I go to check my mail and don't know what the package on my doorstep is because I feel like, "hey, didn't I *just* order that?"
I ordered four books last week and three of them were delievered two days later - the fourth one is a rare/nearly-out-of-print Depeche Mode biography that I've been chasing down for a few years now, but Chapters said they could get it. It arrived separately five days after the initial order, but of course the shipping was already taken care of (free) so it was no extra hassle.
Another bonus is that they use Canada Post so there is no signing, chasing after the FedEx dude or "we missed you!" note on your door when you come home that forces you to go to some obscure depot in Mimico for pickup - they just leave it on your doorstep.
If you need books or DVDs and don't feel like carrying them home, order them online and have them delivered to your door!
