I live in Saudi Arabia and some books I need for my PhD are not accessible here or if there are they are extremely expensive. I took my chance to order three books from Abebooks using the postal services of KSA with USA address. I am glad that sellers immediately shipped them to the USA addres of KSA postal services. Now, my books are on my way to the kingdom. I saved a lot on this transaction. And I think, since I'm using KSA postal service, it is safer and faster. Cheaper because KSA postal service will charge the shipping not Abebooks.UPDATE: I already received two of the three books (05 September) I ordered. The one is yet to be processed by KSA's postal services in the US to be shipped here. So far, good experience.
