They sent the wrong book.
I ordered "Knack Organizing Your Home: Decluttering Solutions and Storage Ideas by Emily Wilska" through Books in the Balance (BITB), one of the Amazon Marketplace sellers. A few weeks later, I check with my aunt in the US and it turns out that BITB delivered "Knack Green Decorating & Remodeling: Design Ideas and Sources for a Beautiful Eco-Friendly Home by Heather Paper" instead.
Inconvenient but I wasn't too bothered because I knew that things would be fixed quickly. I sent them an email and after three days (and one follow-up), Amazon sent notification that they've given me a full refund ($9.46).
Now that bothered me - I wanted to return the book BITB delivered and get my actual order. But that was not to be since I asked them how I could give the book back and they sent an email telling me to "please keep it on us."
When I check online, the same book is now selling for $16.22 (inclusive of taxes). Sigh.
Well, I ordered it again despite the price increase which brought my total to four. Hmmm... Four books about storage? I must admit that's a little too much.
On the bright side, I now have a book on decorating that will help save the environment at the same time!

I'm In Love with Amazon
I have ordered five more books from Amazon and I've made a vow that I will stop after this.
So far, my book collection has reached Php 8000! I don't usually buy books for myself so this is rather much. Granted that some of them were gifts from my husband, but still... As my sister once asked, "Instead of buying books about decorating, why don't you use the money to decorate the house?"
I must say though it has been rather fun - and makes me want to buy the other things Amazon is selling... Candy packages from the 50's anyone?

The Wait is Over
The launch of the new model unit was finally done yesterday, May 9. We visited the site this morning and though it's a bit unfinished (i.e. the rooms did not have doors), it gave us a better idea of what could be done with the space.
It definitely looked much better - and somehow larger - than the original bare bones model unit.
