PBS Market gets new and overstock books at discounts from various vendors, all over the place and that's why they can offer them at a reduced price. Shipping charges are extra, in addition to the price. PBS Marketplace ships from two locations and all additional books ordered from the same location get a shipping discount.

I ordered from the overstock (the cheaper books) and found shipping times to be slow. I think they waited 10 days to ship but I know I got them shortly after that. It might have been a little over 2 weeks total. |

I think it depends on the shipment and from where it's being shipped. I've ordered from the PBS Market 3 or 4 times and each time the items were shipped within 2-3 days. |

I ordered from the PBS market once, and the transaction was smooth although it took about a week and a half to get the books. That is on par with the other discount book site I use though, so it wasn't troubling. I wouldn't expect the quick shipping I get with Amazon, for example. There are two different levels of books at the PBS market--their overstocks, which are cheaper, and new releases, which are usually fairly expensive although the price can be reduced somewhat by spending a credit with it along with the out-of-pocket cash expense. Personally I would not spend the money on the new releases as I can get them much cheaper elsewhere and I support the PBS site in other ways. But you can sometimes find nice deals on the overstocks.

I agree with Cheryl about the new releases. I haven't bought these because I have never seen one I wanted that was at a competitive price, even with the credit discount. I've bought a few of the overstocks, and the ship time has been about two weeks. |
