I ordered the 2 books and got them within 2 weeks. The books came in separate packaging but that was okay because they were both packed securely. The pricing was cheaper than any bookstore around my area and free shipping was also available.
This is another repeat purchase from book depository, as always their choices are excellent, you can virtually buy any english books here.
After several purchases from them, I found out however they might not always be the cheapest one, but take into account although they ship it from overseas, the shipping itself is always really quick!
Packaging is really good and they always put some extra information inside too.
Go-to place for books. - Very competitive prices. - Books always arrive in great condition - Free shipping! The shipping takes a bit long though.
Recently ordered two book as a birthday gift and it took more than 10 days to arrived, just made it on time for the birthday. Super cheap prices for two very nice books made the wait worthwhile. Will come back again.
The Book Depository has a well-deserved reputation for their tremendous range and low prices, and my experience was definitely consistent with this. Both the items I bought (a 'For Dummies' instructional and a modern classic novel) were sold at less than half the price charged at my local chain bookstore! There's a huge range of different items available, meaning you can often choose an edition that's in your price range or a cover to suit your existing collection, as well as having access to more variety than can be stocked by a retail store or smaller online outlet.
Shipping is free, and while it does take somewhere between a few days and a few weeks for your items to arrive, the fact that there is no charge for this postage makes it great value for money when you're not in a hurry to receive your items. I did have an issue with items being damaged in the post with a past transaction, but this time around the books were in perfect condition when they arrived.
The only downside to this particular transaction was that one of the books I ordered turned out not to be in stock or production any more. While the amount I paid for it was refunded within five days of my initial purchase, it would have been nice to know at the time of order. They were quick to notify me of the error, though, and a refund to my Paypal account was promptly given.
Overall, while I do love the experience of purchasing books from a brick-and-mortar store, The Book Depository's expansive range and low prices keep me coming back again and again!
I am pretty happy with them. Sometimes delivery is a bit slow, but it doesn't really depend on them, as they usually post the items within a couple of days. Prices are pretty good, considering it's free shipping from the UK! Some books cost less than the standard postage within Australia, and you get the book + free shipping + a free bookmark.
Customer service is good. They reply and try to help.
Once I was on the waiting list for a book that was supposed to come out soon. Publication was cancelled, and they gave me a 10% discount on my next purchase, although it was obviously not their fault.
