Almsgiving


Well Catholics are in the season of Lent, working towards Easter. Our archbishop included a letter in the church bulletin last week urging us that while prayer and fasting is good, they are encouraging more almsgiving. According to wikipedia this means 'giving to others as an act of virtue, either materially or in the sense of providing capabilities (e.g. education) free.'

I ordered a book from Amazon way back at the end of January but it never arrived.  I contacted the seller through Amazon and they replied immediately saying they will credit my account, track the package and redeliver for free.  It would be great if this all works out.  It was a used book for about $7.  Have you had any similar experience?

I've got two books from Amazon on order, haven't yet received them.

I had such high hopes for my books, because I needed them to study for my work.
They were:

1. Dreyer's English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style
2. The Little Grammar Book: Lie and Lay, That and Which, Who and Whom, There, Their, They're, and Other Little Problem Words

Amazon is really good for this. You do have to watch the resellers, though. They can be tricky!!!

Hope, everything goes well with your book ordered.

sometimes happens me but only a few times but Amazon is good. The best site I buy used books (especially cook books ) is amazon UK is really cheap because in some site send the book is really cost.
I buy books and magazines there.

"I remember Lent as a kid". Haven't thought of that in awhile.

David had a problem with a wallet he purchased, and Amazon credited his account, too. They even found another seller to send him a similar wallet for free.

I don't do Amazon in any way, shape, or form. I do alms, though.

Never had a problem here.

I've never had a problem with Amazon so far. But I imagine they'd be very good at correcting the situation.
