If you've got lots of time and don't mind nonchalantly incompetent service, then Dante is the place for you.
Not for the first time, I've had trouble getting ahold of something I'd ordered from them, except today there was the added insult of having been asked to pay for it in advance. Come tomorrow from 10 o'clock, they said, so I gave them an extra few hours and showed up at 1 to collect my books, only one of which was actually there. The worker seemed completely confused as to why this might not be an acceptable state of affairs. I asked for the one book that did actually make it there and she gave it to me, appearing insulted.
I think it is unacceptable to make someone pay for a book that they clearly sell many of, being in such close proximity to the VHS Wassertorstraße, then not even have the decency to have it when it was promised to be there. Worse, they are not sure when my other book will come in. This is time in which I could have been purchasing my much-needed book from a decently-stocked shop. Dante however already has my money.
Never again Dante. read more
