REBOL Official Guide in the Czech Republic?
[1/6] from: kracik:mbox:dkm:cz at: 6-Sep-2000 19:43
Hi Czech REBOLs,
has anyone already received REBOL Official Guide from REBOL Press?
I ordered it more than a month ago and it still hasn't arrived.
I got mail from Pam Davis from Alexander Books saying it was
shipped, so I think it was lost. Or does delivery from U.S. to
Czech Republic always take so long?

I believe Petr recently got his, that's the only other Czech order I know
of.... Mail to all of Europe this summer seems incredibly SLOOOOW. The post
office just waffles when we complain, saying it's out of their hands. Whose
hands is it in?
We hope your book arrives soon.
Best,

Well, I got mine quite quickly, it took just some two weeks as I recall.
I have no means of checking, but I got it just a few days after I sent
a message on this list asking whether someone else had received it on
this continent.
Thanks, Ralph. I sure have no complaints about the speed of delivery.
Yours,
Jussi

Just a small notice: I got my copy of the official guide this Friday, I think
(but I'm not quite sure, since I've been so busy lately...). It really looks
great - I'm looking forward to getting some time to read it (and, of course,
writing a review about it for this Danish Amiga magazine :-) ).
BTW: Yes, I ordered my copy as soon as I could, so it's taken quite some time
reaching me. But then again, I recall I chose the cheapest delivery method,
so this is probably fair. Actually, I found the book in the bookstore at my
university before I got it myself.
Anyway, I'm content with life, the universe, and everything. And Ralph, too
:-)
Kind regards,

Hi,
unfortunately I chose the same delivery method. I'm still waiting,
but I have more hope now that I see I'm not the only one ;-)

Glad your book arrived... yes, alas, as we've found out, Surface Mail is not
a good way to order books internationally. We hope someone soon comes up
with a good method of sending small packages from country to country other
that expensive Air Mail. With the current surge in international e-commerce,
this is definitely a necessity to be solved.
Meanwhile, we continue to do our very best to get books to customers
worldwide as fast as possible.
