Yes, no kidding, you won’t have to hover over that darned ! anymore. Plus, we’re psychic. Look for these changes in the next day or so: your Wish List will show your position in line right on the listing, AND will project if possible when you might get the book offered to you. Because we want the predictions to have some accuracy, a lot of your WIshes might not have enough data to have a projection – but when you see an estimate on a listing, you will know it has some substance.
…And we’ll give you a sense of history. For each Wish List book on your list that has been posted in the past (but has not been posted within the last week), you will see the “last posted on” date, to give you an idea of how often the book has entered the system in the past.
Objects on Wish List are closer than they appear…Remember that any estimates you see on the Wish List will always be worse than reality. Since as the membership grows more books come into the system, your Wish List odds are always improving!
Postage Increase Coming in May. Effective May 11, postal rates will increase slightly. The price of a First Class letter stamp will increase from 42 cents to 44 cents (so stock up on those Forever stamps!). A 1-lb Media Mail package will be $2.38 (up from $2.23). Download the USPS’ new price list, or read the information at USPS‘s website.
One, two, one, two – Get Your Account in Shape for Spring! Come on, everyone, take a minute to look over your Bookshelf and be sure that all items shown there as “available” are actually available to be sent when they are requested. Now check your WIsh List to be sure that all items there are ones you still want. Delete any items that don’t belong (books you no longer have to swap, books you are no longer wishing for) on the lists, and you’re done! Now, that wasn’t hard, was it?
