Support PF: Buy your textbooks here

[Greg Bernhardt]

Another reminder to those students looking to buy their semester 2 books!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Reminder for all your spring purchases :)

How about for Canada? :)

Yup, http://www.amazon.com :)

I made a $350 order from Amazon.ca a month ago, I wish I had seen this!

Would it be okay to buy a nonfiction book about something factual (like computer science) but have the intent of studying it as a subject not offered by school and mention Physics Forums?

You can buy whatever you want. :)

Whether these offers work on Indian Shopping Portals?

I'm afraid not

I have a question. For this site to receive proceeds from a purchase on Amazon, do I have to buy the book from Amazon directly? Ie. sold by amazon or can I buy a book from any member that is listed on Amazon?

Yes anything listed on Amazon. Thanks!

 

[DEvens]

Next semester fall 2011 I'll buy my books through this (about 400 dollars).

Heh heh. You either made a typo, or you are a much better physicist than you let on and you have a time machine that let's you go to school 4 years ago.

How long does it take PF to get its money from this?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Reminder this opportunity works for your xmas shopping too :)

 

[EnumaElish]

I've been buying things from smile.amazon.com because that way Amazon donates a tiny percentage to a nonprofit of my choosing as long as it's an amazon-affiliated organization. I'll consider purchasing thru PF's account. Maybe in turn with smile. Oh, and I'll definitely buy way more from amazon because it's advertised on the PF.

 

[Clever Penguin]

I am going to order through here next time

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Still a month till most schools open, but don't forget to buy your textbooks this way!

Bought some books. Hope it got through.

Fantastic, thanks! You got a lot of studying to do. Good luck!

My results came in today. Surprisingly, I made it to my Insurance university! I will definitely use this!

 

[NathanaelNolk]

I'm already guessing the answer but, is there a way to get a link for the Japanese amazon? I get quite some stuff there, including books and the likes that I can't find on the main site.

Currently it is not listed as an affiliate, sorry! Thanks for asking!

I don't buy much on Amazon but, I'll be buying something in the near future. I've bookmarked the PF link from the first page so that PF gets credit when I make my purchase.

I'm from India . So sorry I can't help you in this case. Is there any possibility in the near future that PF will be linked with Amazon.in or Flipkart, so that we, all Indian members here can support PF?

Why don't you associate with some Indian sites also, like amazon.com and flipkart.com? Then, if I also buy books online (which I do less frequently, as Kolkata has a whole place where there are about 500 book shops, College Street), I'll also buy from here.

Wish I could, but our affiliate partnership with Amazon does not include the Indian site.

Why is the ebay.com link opening up ebay.ca? My father buys stamps from ebay.com, so that can be helpful in contributing here.

Do you reside in Canada? Ebay might be doing a redirect depending on your country.

Nope. India.

I'm being redirected to this site:

@Greg Bernhardt your links are creating a problem only on phone site, not on desktop. Changed the links in bookmarks.

Can you also partner with Delcampe? It's an online store for stamps. As my father buys a lot from there, I believe you'll get some good addition.

hmmm, nothing should be different. The code is the same.

Unfortunately we can't just add sites. We use an auto affiliate service and they manage the contracts with retailers.

I clicked on the link, and it opened up the page properly. But when I navigated to a product, the "?tag=pfamazon01-20" was no longer there in the URL. Is this normal? How does this work? Cookies?

By the way, I tried adding that tag to Amazon India, and the page opened with the tag properly. Changed the bookmark on my browser. Will be buying something soon, so hope you get some percentage of Amazon's revenue.

Only needs to be set for the first page, from there on, it won't be added to amazon URLS for that session. You need to add the tag for each session.

It won't register for Amazon India I'm afraid.

Does this apply to all textbooks and lab equipment? I spend a lot of money on books and lab equipment and other material and if this applies to them then I'll make sure to buy everything through PF from now on.

Wonderful! Thank you.

 

[Victor Dotov]

I don't understand, why would amazon share the cost of a book with others?
Unless ofcourse they're raising the price of the books when you purchase through the link. :-D

its because the link encourages more sales. For example i was not planning to buy from amazon but now i see that i can support my favorite website and amazon has the same books i wanted so i buy them its a win win win

 

[Not anonymous]

Yes it should as long as you click here first.

I am confused. That post from a decade ago says that clicking the .com link and then navigating to the .co.uk website and buying a product from that non-US site too will benefit Physics Forums. But a more recent reply says that buying from at least one of their non-US sites doesn't give the affiliate benefit. Could you tell the list of countries where they recognize the Physics Forums affiliate account and share a portion of the purchase cost?

Sorry for the confusion. Only the US version works, thanks!

Gold membership has become cheap due to inflation. Can we have Platinum, Rhodium, Einsteinium, etc. ?
