This was my first time ordering from book depository but as it is an international and well known site I felt like I could trust it. The prices are generally cheaper than other book sites and the book I ordered "Streams of Living Water" by Richard Foster was only $15.39, and shipping was free. The item arrived after 5 business days.
I ordered two books (one was preorder) and both arrived safely from the UK.
The pre-order was released a few days later and arrived 2-3 after the first one. The first one took around 10 business days to arrive - a long wait but it was free shipping from the UK so I'm not complaining.
Once again, books on this site are very affordable and service is great.
This was my first time purchasing from book depository, I decided to choose them over other retailers as they were the cheapest and also had free delivery.
The textbook I purchased was approximately $20-30 cheaper than any other store in Australia or online.
They dispatched the book after three days and I received it five working days later.
It came in great condition and packaged in cardboard.
I wish I had found this site sooner, I will definitely shop here 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.
Does anyone else miss the good old fashioned book shop? Granted, buying books online does have a few advantages. I first stumbled upon UK-based Book Depository by chance, when searching for a specific non-fiction book. The book prices can be displayed in AUD, and I find them very competitive, often better-priced, and easier to search and compare, than purchasing books from the handful of remaining brick-and-mortar shops locally.
Book Depository offers free shipping worldwide, but just be aware that when you order multiple books from them, they may be delivered to you separately, rather than packed together -- so if you order the bigger books, you'll want to make sure to provide an address where someone can take the deliveries (like your work, if you work in an office) to save you multiple Post Office pick-up trips.
On their website they say that delivery to Australia takes about 7-10 working days, and so far that's been about right. I always purchase multiple books in one order from Book Depository, and indeed the deliveries are spread out: sometimes I'll receive parcels a few days apart, sometimes packages arrive on consecutive days.
thelittleowlie would shop at Book Depository again.
Favourite online bookstore!
The day I discovered Book Depository I was jumping with joy because I really love reading books (although I own an iPad I prefer reading actual physical books) but they're so expensive to buy.
So, Book Depository offers books are very competitive prices and also provides free shipping!
I've bought a number of books from here at low prices (especially a lot of my language textbooks which cost a fortune to buy at bookstores). On this particular order I bought a French textbook which arrived in about a week or so.
Only time I had an issue with them was when they sent me the wrong book. But I decided to keep it anyways without asking for an exchange because I had wanted to buy that book anyways. Nonetheless I hope that they can take better care in their postage and handling so that the right items get delivered.
The book depository is always my first stop to find books. The shipping can take a long time when you order from the UK or US, but it is a tiny price to pay when you are given access to so many hard to find and out of print books.
I've been reunited with long lost favourites and have bought gems for friends many times.
