This is my third time shopping in book depository, that happens because of their competitive price and also prompt shipping time.
This time, I purchased a book for a graduation gift, the shipping took less than a week (including weekends) from UK! (while it says it will arrive in 7-10 business days)
The book itself is in mint condition and they took extra care in packaging it.
I'm very happy with this purchase and would shop with them again.
I love the Book Depository. Free shipping (at a regular, decent speed) even all the way to antipoedia, excellent range including multiple covers and I just can't find better prices anywhere online. I don't know why I'd shop anywhere else for books.
I just love Book Depository. You can't beat their prices on books and they have international free shipping! I have bought so many books from them, the classic Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South was only $4.48 with free shipping from the UK! I don't know how they do it!
My latest purchase was from their 24 hours flash sale (they run this about 2-3 times a year), where every hour they would put up a book drastically reduced - lots of fun. The book I bought was the hardcover "All About Me: A Christmas Book", which costs anywhere up to $81.99 in Australian online stores but I got it for $8.62!
For every order (or most) they also include a nice unique Book Depository bookmark, a very nice touch!
They send an email letting you know when your book has dispatched (usually within 24 hrs), and shipping is relatively quick - about 1-2 weeks.
Highly highly recommended for book lovers or for buying gifts for family/friends who may not live in the same town as you!
If you're a traditional book reader book depository is THE source for paper books. Since the books come from the UK it does take a few weeks to arrive. I've never had a problem ordering books from them and the books always arrive in perfect condition.
I absolutely love living in Australia, but I hate paying through the nose for books.
Now there's no need to - The Book Depository (.com and it's .co.uk site) offer an affordable alternative.
The range of books they offer is excellent. Shipping is free (on everything) and always efficient.
In this particular order I found a recipe book I liked in a local book store (Supercharged Food by Lee Holmes) - it was selling for $35. When I got home I found it at The Book Depository for just over $18 including delivery.
The book was shipped within 2 days of my order and it arrived (from the UK) in under a week. You've got to be happy with that.
It was such good value and such a good experience I told my friends about the book through the site too.
Keep an eye out for their 24 hour sales - you can pick up some great bargains.
