WHSmith – Cheapest book seller?

WHsmith sell books online and offer similar priced books as Amazon and Play.com however they offer "FREE DELIVERY TO STORE"
For example the The Rough Guide to Devon and Cornwall is priced at…
Amazon £6.59 + P&P
Play.com £7.49 Delivered
WHsmith £6.59 with "Free Delivery to Store"
So if you live / work near a WHsmith store it works out cheapest.
What is ironic if you actually buy the book in the WHsmith store it cost £9.99!

I find that they are all similar, but most of the time Play come out on top. But I don't like them that much, they never give you updates on orders, and can have things on 'back order' for months!
That being said, I never buy an book before price checking on https://www.find-book.co.uk which shows DVD.co.uk charging 6.92 for your book. Now, if your going into a Smiths then all well and good. But I'd prefer it delivered for 33p more. Much cheaper than the petrol, quicker, and stops me from buying more stuff whilst wandering (as I ALWAYS DO!)0 -
Just ordered son's Uni books online for him to pick up from WH Smith near him.
Worked out cheaper than Amazon, got free delivery, 7% from Quidco plus WHS Clubcard points & no problems with delivery to student digs!!
