Is It Rude Of Me To Ask For Discounts Like This?

I bought a book from Amazon for £8.36 and when I checked inside it says 230 rupees which is about £3.00 . Would it be rude of me to ask for a discount?
I have asked for discounts before saying they were cheaper elsewhere but that’s because they were expensiver items.

Yes as you agreed the selling price and bought it as such.
You’re not going to lose anything by trying but don’t be surprised if they say no.

If Amazon offers a book for sale at £8, and you buy it at that price, then you have a contract.
You do know that booksellers sell books for more than they paid for them, don’t you? If you are happy with the deal, what they paid for it is none of your business.
Of course, next time you want to buy a book, you are welcome to ask for a discount, or look elsewhere to buy it. That is how the market works.

you can always ask, but i don’t think it will get you anywhere. take into account the fact that it has had to be transported to your country prior to dispatch. that’s apart from the fact if you thought it was too dear you shouldn’t have ordered it.

You said you already bought it? Well, there’s no harm in asking for a discount, but as you’ve already paid for it, the seller’s not entitled to give you some money back..

It’s not rude to ask for a discount; how you react to their response is a far bigger issue.

I don’t think it’s ever rude to ask for a discount if you feel it’s warranted.

Its 3 quid. my god it won’t exactly break the bank.
