Individual Project 1

Define you purchase:

I bought a textbook for Fall 2008 semester for GEOG 4700. The text book is called “Earth’s Climate Past and Future” 2nd Edition by William Ruddiman. The book is being shipped from California from Cats1927. I placed the order on July 10th and I received it on July 16th.

Information search process:

Price:$56.99
Features: Paperback, 388 pages, 10.5 inches tall, 8.3 inches wide, .5 in think, 28.8 ounces is the weight. It is published by WH. Freeman and Co. in 2007. Its ISBN number is 9780716784906.

I found the information about this product by clicking on details under product specifications. I like this price it was listed as the less expensive price and it was fairly reasonable. I also had consider buying the same book but at a higher price because it was in Georgia, but I decided to not buy it though the buyer in Georgia due to the fact I didn’t need it right away and two because the seller didn’t have a good rating and three the Georgia seller didn’t provide a picture. A picture is everything when trying to sell something and that is what I always look for when purchasing a product of the internet.

Additional information:

It is being shipped from California it will be shipped within 1 to 2 days. It is coming from seller Cats1927. She has a 98% satisfaction rating. Like I said previously I went with this seller because of price, picture, and her satisfaction rating.

How soon I placed the order:

I placed the order on July 10th, 2008 online and I paid with my Visa credit card.

Were you satisfied:

Yes. I was very satisfied with my order. I receive my book within a week of placing my order. I placed it on July 10th and I received it by July 16th. The book was in mint condition as described in her ad and it also looked like it hasn’t even been touched. I am very satisfied with this product.

Recommendations:

I would definitely shop around for the best textbook price. I always do and I always pay less for my textbooks. The best site I have found so far is www.half.com. I like www.half.com due to the fact that they not only show the less expensive price but they also show the most expensive price as well. I have shopped around through websites like www.textbooks.com and www.barnesandnoble.com and I was not satisfied with either one of those websites. I felt like with www.textbooks.com it took twice as long and last semester when I ordered my book I didn’t receive it until halfway through the semester due to the fact I got someone else’s book and they got mine. Barnes and Noble just takes to long and I most of the time cannot find what I am looking for. I would definitely recommend www.half.com and this seller to everyone. The seller worked very efficiently for me to receive my textbook within a week’s time.
