I never received any email confirming my order from Good e-Reader; the only confirmation I received was from PayPal, and my credit card company warning me of an international charge. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

I ordered the latest Nook from them last week and got the confirmation that they received my order. There have been several complaints about them, true, but they're the only store shipping Nooks internationally. Also hoping for the best here.

I’m in the US, and ordered a Pocketbook Touch HD3 via good ereader. It did feel a bit dodgy because of sparse notifications. It took several days, maybe even a week before I got the notification of shipment...from China. Then a week before it arrived. But it did arrive, and it’s great. Which is good, because I suspect returning it wouldn’t be worth it, if it wasn’t.

I think it’s user expectations (my own). I’m so used to almost real time notifications from most online retailers that when a company doesn’t have that, it feels off somehow.
