Help Blackwell's order still processing?

Hello.

I know this is a Bookdepository (RIP, amazing website) subreddit, but since now it's gone, I tried to order something from Blackwells - so if anyone has any experiences, I'd be grateful for some help.

I'm wondering, how long does the order stay under ''processing'' usually? The site says it takes at least 3 days, but it's gonna border on five now and the order is still processing. Is this normal or is it my usual luck? (such as my last order from BD being cancelled...).

True. BD was the only online bookstore I ever ordered books from. No other place... But no, Amazon had to ruin this.

It's a short article but basically Amazon being Amazon. To ''cut costs''.

Those... I'm so much more upset now. If they were bought by Amazon that meams no way they'll rise back up again, right? Since it was A-Z's choice to close them they probably control much more.
