I tried emailing AND calling the company....NO ONE IS ANSWERING ME!!!!!!!! I would advise people to be careful before ordering this book, only because my whole class has either had to wait for them to get back to us.....or paid twice as much as they wanted to because of the web site screw up. I am VERY leary of this publisher because of this. Seem kind fo shady to me.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather that this is a self-published book and that he works with a print-to-order company to fulfill orders. Excellent book, and I had no troubles with my order.

shonda_renee Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It is listed on Amazon.com Currently it is "unavailable", but that may be a good option if they get some copies in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrtmom1 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It is listed on Amazon.com Currently it is "unavailable", but that may be a good option if they get some copies in soon. It has been for almost a year. Ecampus sold it to us, then refunded our money when they couldn't get copies from the publisher. There was someone selling a used copy on half.com, but they sold it. :cool: It just seems like the only way to get it is to pay the outragious shipping. I just refuse to do that.:mad: I will post if I ever hear from them! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outennisboi Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 ecampus says it's on special order 1-2 weeks for delivery, so i'll let you guys know if they actually follow through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have paid 3x as much - that's the value I am receiving from it. If your in no hurry, just keep eyeing amazon, half, ebay, etc and they will pop up.

Emerson Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 What was their response? Was it regarding making you pay $25 for shipping? Yes, for anyone that is bothered by the $25 shipping, I would suggest that you not get the book. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WhoCares Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 $25 shipping! How heavy is the thing? I thought it was a pocket manual! Maybe it's really large print? They should just charge more for the manual itself, that would come across as less ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smrtmom1 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 It is a small handbook, the $25 for shipping is NOT because it is heavy. Their web site automatically defaults to the overnight shipping. It says that you can choose your shipping, and other options are on the drop down menu. BUT when you go to check out, it defaults to the overnight. If you ask me, it is deceptive business practice. But being the internet, I guess there isn't much you can do. As far as them responding to your email, I am happy for you. But they still have not responded to my request to order a large quantity. JUst seems strange that they don't want to sell an easy 25 copies.....but oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WhoCares Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Smartmom, I was joking about the weight of the manual, but I do thank you for that run-through. There is nothing worse than cyber-shiftyness!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I emailed everyone's concerns to the person that emailed me recently. I will post their response should I receive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 It seems to me there are other good resources written for med students on rotations; why on earth would we need anything different? I'm rather partial to this one here. Also not cheap, and not entirely perfect, but very well-done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxley Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I played around with the ordering and you can choose UPS ground for $11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
