Since The English Court They send me a letter to my house informing me that I can do my textbook reservation for the next course. They also tell me that I have to do it before August 3 and that I can do it through elcorteingles.es Indeed, when I connect to the web page I observe that I can locate the books by course and autonomous community or by title or ISBN. In addition, also online, they report that all textbooks are at the best price and with Free shipping for orders over 19 euros.
Also the letter that they have sent me, includes a form, to fill in by hand, and that can be delivered in the centers of El Corte Inglés. Although, and I think it's a big step, they indicate that if I leave the school book list It is not necessary to fill in the subject, editorial, ISBN title, author or language data. And there is more because they report that they offer the new Open Account Back to School with which all are advantages, especially if you have the purchase card of El Corte Inglés, because you can start paying on October 31, use deferred payment with a minimum amount of 20 euros per month and finance purchases in nine months. And here there is differential value because in that financing can be included textbooks, uniforms, fashion and children's shoe stores, school supplies, clothing and sports shoes, etc.
Of course it is convenient to review the conditions of the promotion to avoid surprises and be attentive to other bonuses such as corticoles, and their expiration dates, because they can be used for purchases of school supplies or in fashion if uniforms are purchased.
El Corte Inglés is also taking advantage of the network of its shopping centers, to which Supercor and Opencor are added to make the collection of school supplies although they can be received at home, with free shipping for more than 19 euros.
And this year they have been invented, I also read it in the form they sent me full of colors, which We take the teacher home. It's about a sure In case our child cannot go to class for more than 15 days. It is a promotion that can be requested in the Department of Insurance before September 30, 2014 and with the reservation receipt. This service should also look at the conditions because although it is attractive I doubt much of its practicality: school rhythm, method followed, teacher adaptation, application schedules, etc. In any case the service has caught my attention and I think it could be useful if it is also complemented by technological tools to make the service more attractive.
I have read on the Internet that phone orders are not supported for the reservation of textbooks, which seems very good to me because on the Internet or delivering the papers in the center it has to be more than enough to request the service.
Although I believe that El Corte Inglés offers a differential service and full of facilities for the consumer, I believe that they could still go further and offer a comprehensive offer for children who go to school. In fact on the form that they sent me on paper show that they have everything: school supplies, books and uniforms, so what I don't understand is why they don't get to pack everything else when they know that many of us come back every year and it only changes that children have one more year.
I'm still waiting to see which company in Spain offers such a service, I think that the day I do one, at least to me, they will have won me because it is a bore every year to go to the counter to always ask for the same, endure long waits and test the patience of the sellers with all anxious customers for finishing this routine process every year.
