Missing data, or a missing prediction…since the chart is showing a difference between the two. It’s possible the model for those areas had some issue. I agree it’s worth questioning.

Maybe rethink buying new books and look for used at local book stores? I know not always ideal, and some don’t have inventory searchable online, but when it works, it’s a great way to support local

You may not get them the week they’re released but I see lots of “new” (within the past few months) releases at used book stores. Some of them do sell new as well. Depends on your shop I guess. Anyway, just a suggestion…sometimes I try my best and still end up having to use Amazon :/

Hey this is a late reply, but what do you do when it’s not a commercial purchase? My mother insists on sending me packages from abroad through UPS and I get screwed with duty. Any ideas how to self clear this?

Unfortunately no that’s not true. Even if duty is not owed, GST is still charged (based on the declared value) as I found out yesterday. $3.50 in GST $38 in brokerage fees added on by UPS. Fuck these guys, it’s predatory.
