Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Summary
Details

ABC TV's The Checkout has managed to delight and inform consumers while challenging and infuriating big business. Keeping the same mix of irreverence and information as the top-rating ABC show, The Checkout is a fabulously funny read that also gives readers the knowledge and tools they can use in everyday consumer interactions. Featuring illustrations, photographs, break-out boxes and heaps of incredibly useful (and mind-boggling) information and observations, there are sections on:

    * How To Return This Book: a look at consumer rights when it comes to returning items using the purchase of the book as a case study
    * Do This Right Now: Consumer advice that can save readers money instantly
    * The Checklist: simple, one-page checklists of things consumers need to be aware of before making certain transaction (eg buying car insurance)
    * Product versus Packshot
    * Guilty Mum
    * Signs of the Times
    * Loving Pet Owner
    * First World Problems

And more!

The Checkout is a no-holds-barred, irreverent and entertaining approach to explaining and exposing the ways that all of us are being ripped off. You can't afford not to read this book!
