Used and rare books from independent sellers — shipping is the number to watch.
Books, music & streaming
Media subscriptions discount by trial and by annual billing, not by coupon: a free month, a student rate, twelve months for the price of ten. All three are real, and all three renew. The retail end — books, vinyl, film and merchandise — runs on a normal retail calendar instead, where the used copy and the pre-order price are usually the two levers that matter.
What to check before you pay
- Free trials need a card and convert silently — diarise the date
- Annual billing is the discount; the monthly price is the anchor
- What you keep after cancelling: usually nothing on streaming, everything on a bought book
- Regional catalogues differ — the show you subscribed for may not be in your country
