It depends on the circumstances. This service is brilliant for people outside of the US who are interested in books published in the US. You can send books directly from Amazon,com or from one of the used sellers. Therefore you only pay regular postage and find most of the time used versions of a book (which not always ship international). When I was in Europe, I would have paid $15 for the only available used version of a book on the local Amazon, with 1dollarscan I payed $1 book + $3 shipping + $2 for the scan.
