What would you do when you have to get a book for yourself or to gift someone? Chances are that you would walk all your way down to the city bookstore or a local bookshop. What if the book is unavailable? Would you keep on hopping from one shop to the other in search of the same or a next best alternative? In addition to that, there can be a possibility that the shopkeeper is not aware of the kind of book you prefer. Questions such as these are pertinent, when it comes to something as simple as getting a book. However, we also have a solution for this, and that is buying books online.
Online shopping in India has taken an altogether new turn. Today, the websites sell not only goods and products that were otherwise scarce and unavailable, but also something as regular as books and that too in all possible genres. Hence, when you log into an online shopping portal, you can search according to the category you want, such as philosophy, bestseller or classics and many others. The price range is similar to that of the local bookstore and few websites have nominal to zero delivery charges.
The process to buy books online is simple. Choose any online website and enter the book section or directly log in to a website that deals specifically with books, novels, magazines and on the like. Post that, you need to select a genre for your book. The popular genres available today are fiction, non-fiction, best sellers, investigative and mystery novels, classics, autobiography, sci-fi, esoteric, religious, wining and dining, health care, child care, self help, personal grooming, periodic journals, history, occult and new age, romance and many others. Sometimes, you will also chance upon a compilation of an author, for instance the best 6 or best 4 collection categories.
After you have chosen the book/s, you need to proceed to the billing details. You need to type in the address where you want the book to be delivered. Therefore, if you want to gift a friend, after your online billing formalities type in his/her residential address and the book shall reach them within a stipulated time. You will have a record of all the transactions on your email id with which you log in. Any queries that you might have you can either mail it to the customer care department or call in the 24 x 7 help desk and have them satisfactorily answered.
In the recent past, there has been an increase in online book buying activities owing to the cash on delivery option. Most people are not very comfortable with the idea of sharing their bank account details or credit/debit card details online. Cheques or demand drafts take time to clear. Therefore, the next best option is cash on delivery. Gradually, more and more online portals are adopting this facility. Therefore, log in to any renowned online website to get your books this time. We are sure the experience would be a wonderful one.
