How to Buy Books, Movies and Music at Amazon

Amazon has 6 international main sites (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr and Amazon.jp). Buying items from the nearest site to you not always means to get the best price once you sum up item's price and shipping costs. This guide shows you how to use a simple tool to track all Amazon sites with only two clicks in order to find the best offered price.

Steps

1. Open your favorite Internet navigator and go to the following free tool


2. Select the kind of item you are searching for. There are 3 available categories: books, movies and music.


3. Select the site from which you want to do the initial search. By default your query will be processed by Amazon.com but you can change it if you want in order to find very specific items.


4. Type in the search box some keywords related to what you are looking for.


5. You will get a list of results. Now you only have to browse the list to find an item of your interest.


6. Once you click in the item's title you will be send to the details page of the item. The details page shows you the availability, price, shipping costs and total price of the item in the different sites of Amazon. All prices will be converted to your local currency. Now you have found which Amazon site offers this item at the best price.


7. If you are planning to buy more than one item from Amazon, there is an even better functionality: in the details page you can use the "Add Item to Comparer" button. This button simulates a virtual basket of items that allows you to see the combined price of multiple items. More items and almost same shipping cost means getting a better price.


8. Once you have added all items to the simulated basked you can view the result through a link in the header of the page called "The comparer".
