I had the Book Depository recommended to me by a relative and I was not disappointed. The website is easy to use and they stock the latest best sellers. The recommendations that the website makes as suggested titles are fantastic and lead me to books that I had not even thought about purchasing.
I was amazed at how quickly the books were shipped and the packaging was excellent. The books arrived within 2 weeks which was excellent considering they were coming from the UK.
Large selection of books, great prices, free shipping!!!
Recently purchased a selection of children books and stickers.
Great prices, and best of all free shipping. Books are heavy and most australian online books stores charge fees for shipping. This store does not charge, and the delivery time is fast. My order came in 8 days.
Customer service is also very prompt to reply. If items are held up, this store does ship items immediately available.
If I am looking for books or stationary, this is the site I look first.
Also if you are looking for presents to send to family and friends overseas, this site is good as shipping is free worldwide. Saves on buying items in Australia and spending money posting them. You can ship anywhere in the world from this site.
Note if you are looking for cards, envelopes etc, best to check this site, the stationary section is very good.
I bought three photography books from this website for approx $110 total. They have free shipping worldwide on all their orders which is great. Shipping is of course slower than buying from an Australian website, but it only took a little under 3 weeks to arrive which I thought was reasonable. They ship the items well so the books didn't get damaged and the prices were the best I've seen anywhere. One of the books was half the price of what I have seen in Aus retailers. Would most definitely use this site again.
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!
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.
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.
The Book Depository - Cheap Books with Free Shipping
The book depository is a UK based e-store dealing in a massive range of books and ebooks. I have used this website to buy university textbooks, novels as well as gifts for other people.
The website is easy to use and supports an account-based wishlist. One downfall is that there is no 'remember me' option for easily signing in.
The range of books is immense! Classics to cookbooks to textbooks and more - all of this comes with free worldwide shipping. Shipping can be lengthy - to Australia you can expect three to four weeks of waiting time.
Despite the lengthy delivery time, the prices will probably beat your local bookstore on most titles - especially textbooks.
Returns are possible for books damaged during shipping. The help service is quick and polite.
The Book Depository is easily the leading online bookstore out there. Check it out!
