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.

One of the best places for books
BD offers such a large range of books at a very reasonable price.
To be honest, it was one of the first places where Australians could buy books at overseas prices back when it was first launched, and probably still one of the few.
I have ordered a few paperbacks and a hardcover and all of them arrived in good condition but not without a few wear and tear around a few of the paperbacks though.
Shipping is free to Australia, but it does take a week or two since its based in the UK i believe. But for such reasonable prices you shouldn't complain much.
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!
So I had specifically purchased 'Sarah's Key', a novel, as a gift for a friend. I was really impressed, fast delivery ( 8 working days) and the book was in great condition. It was also more convenient, because Im finding it harder to find real life book stores nowadays. It was also much cheaper than buying it from a real life store. Definitely worth checking it out!
Definitely will shop here again. Books are alot cheaper compared to those sold in bookstores. Books are shipped individually in a flat cardbox envelope, it might be a hassle to some. Shipping to Australia took 9 days for all my items.
Did not require much communication with customer service as everything was fairly straightforward and the website has a good reputation.
No issues with any item purchased, came in mint condition.
Discounts are great for most items but the best part of shopping here has to be the free shipping.
My friend recommended this website to me as I was looking for the "Lesser Key of Solomon". Not many online book stores sell this book. She said that they have a wide range and at good prices. I checked it out and it was true. I found the book that I wanted in no time at all and bought the book with my credit card. The website is based in the UK and so delivery took sometime (roughly about 2 weeks) but delivery was free with the purchase. I recommend this website for anyone wanting to purchase a book online. It may take a while but the range and variety of the books on sale is massive. It's a good online book store.
