Definitely will shop here again. Books are alot cheaper compared to those sold in bookstores. Books are shipped individually in a flat cardbox envelope, it might be a hassle to some. Shipping to Australia took 9 days for all my items.
Did not require much communication with customer service as everything was fairly straightforward and the website has a good reputation.
No issues with any item purchased, came in mint condition.
Discounts are great for most items but the best part of shopping here has to be the free shipping.
I have been using Book Depository for some years. They generally offer the cheapest prices on books an with free deliver. 99% of the time the books arrive at an alarming speed considering how far away they come from. However my most recent order (for 1 soft cover) which I placed in the middle of the Christmas rush, took about 3 weeks to arrive. It was posted 3 days after the order was placed so the delay would've been purely international postage hold up though so I am still very happy with their service.
On the 16th of January, I had ordered a My Little Pony book from this online store, simply because they offered free shipping and because it was the store that offered the lowest price on this book. On the website, they had said that the book would be dispatched within 48 working hours and that they would send me a confirmation email.
It did not take them 48 hours to dispatch this, it was more like 4 days. I emailed them on the 21st of January later enquire where my order was. On the day they had replied, the book had been dispatched (this was on the 22nd of January). They have quick service when they are dealing with complaints.
On the 1st of February, the book was delivered to me. The book was delivered in sturdy packaging material and I was quite satisfied. The shipping time was decent for the fact that it was free shipping.
Was searching online for a particular book, and The Book Depository seemed to offer the cheapest price I could find.
Delivery was under about a week, which is expected now with this site.
Just watch out if you're paying via credit card, this is considered an overseas transaction as they're based in the UK. I got hit with a small overseas transaction fee.
Probably my 5th book bought from The Book Depository, their service and delivery is very consistent. Packaging as usual is solid, and took under a week to arrive.
Although they're delivery is free, I just realised I'm getting charged by my credit card company for an overseas transaction, so just watch out for an additional dollar or two spent on this, depending on your card provider. These guys are based in the UK after all.
Ordered the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Companion for myself and my partner. Price was far cheaper than any shop in Australia (about a third of the price.)
As usual, freight from the other side of the world was quick, ordered on boxing day and arriving the first week of the new year!
So I had specifically purchased 'Sarah's Key', a novel, as a gift for a friend. I was really impressed, fast delivery ( 8 working days) and the book was in great condition. It was also more convenient, because Im finding it harder to find real life book stores nowadays. It was also much cheaper than buying it from a real life store. Definitely worth checking it out!
