I have been a loyal customer of Book Depository for around 2-3 years now. I have ordered baby books, school textbooks and novels without a problem. Their delivery is very prompt and reliable, and I have received every product I have ever ordered in great condition. Their prices are also great, and would be considerably cheaper than buying from a bookstore. They also have an excellent return policy. Overall, I highly recommend this site!
I made a large purchase from the book depository of over 20 books. I got carried away with continual looking and due to the price I kept buying books. I could not find a better price or range on the net but the actual store can sometimes be hard to navigate. I purchased a large order but for some reason they came in individual parcels spread over about two weeks from the initial purchase. I found this odd and they did not provide any update of when I may receive other parcels. Overall the experience was good and I feel like I could trust the store.
I ordered a book "The Shore of Pearls" from Book Depository on the 2nd of January. The book arrived a short 10 day wait later, it was packaged nicely in a cardboard envelope with only a very small crease in the top right hand corner. Book Depository offers free worldwide shipping which swayed me to purchase from them as the prices are comparable with other online retailers (and definitely better than a brick and mortar store) without exorbitant shipping fees. Although it must be checked when buying the book that you are buying the exact version you want as book depository does have a very large range including several different versions of the same book and even some books in different languages. I did not have too much trouble with it however.
MelbourneGlobal would shop at Book Depository again.
Book Deposity .co.uk - Great for buying books
Huge variety of books. Free shipping to Australia. Prices are reasonable. Ordered 3 books. Took 3 weeks to arrive. Arrived in good condition. Overall they are pretty good if you don't mind waiting.
I ordered two little fiction paper backs to enjoy over the summer break from uni. They came in about 8 business days and were in perfect condition. They have good prices and great selection.
after i found out that with amex i can get 10% off from the books purchase in bookdepository i decided to take a look, and they have extensive choice of titles! i think you could possibly find anything you want in your local bookstore there and besides the cheap price, they have free shipping for all the orders!
the only drawback is that the shipping might take 7-10 days as it is shipped from europe to australia.
and they are really generous with bookmarks i bought 3 books, got it in 3 different envelopes and got a looot of bookmarks

The prices on the site for books are pretty much the cheapest I can find on the internet.
They're packaging for books is also very good - wrapped snugly in padded cardboard, which keeps the book in good nick.
