      I've ordered from both Amazon UK and Amazon US to be sent to my address in Australia. Amazon UK was slightly quicker at the job of delivering it but there was little difference in the price.

      As an alternative to Amazon you could try Free delivery worldwide on all books from The Book Depository

      They have free (and fast) worldwide delivery. Sometimes the are a bit dearer for the actual books but I still find they are often cheaper than Amazon when delivery is taken into account.

      Yep, I`ll second the Book Depository...they accept paypal, which is a bonus for me, as John Locke and credit cards are not a healthy combination..!

      Thanks LondonGal, just visited that site and it is brilliant, as an avid reader I have been visiting the library lots but they do not always have the books I enjoy. Will def be ordering in the near future!

      p.s. Good luck with your move home.
