I bought some personal items and a wooden spice rack from Fishpond.com.
These shipped from the UK, and the postage was super slow to initiate - I kept checking the order and it would say that they were 'on their way to our warehouse': not even shipped yet!
But almost a month later, my order arrived and the spice rack is nicer than anything we looked at in stores or on ebay.
So, if you're not in a hurry, I definitely recommend Fishpond. Some things are easy to wait for and this order was worth it!
I discovered Fishpond when a sports powder I normally buy was no longer available locally. I was pleased to see they offer Free Shipping but noticed the prices a little higher and it ships from a US supplier. The website ordering process was easy but I had to sign up as a member. I was regularly updated via email as to the status of order and I received the item 12 business days after ordering. I would recommend for hard to source items but I wouldn't recommend if you need something quickly.
I accidentally stumbled across this website whilst searching for Peppa Pig and Octonauts books. I purchased 9 books for around half the price as you would find in ABC stores and shipping was free! Supplier was in the UK too. Items were dispatched in groups which was a bit strange...received 2 to 3 items separately over 1 week. packaged ok - in cardboard. lucky books were not damaged. could have been packaged better though. but all in all, my items arrived safely in perfect condition. This website sells all types of things. Good idea to sign up for emails. will buy from again if any good deals pop up.
Very low prices for all the books I've looked for. Especially considering that this is a local site and there are no overseas transaction fees (unlike other seemingly cheaper sites), it further sweetens the deal.
Delivery was a bit slow - about 2 weeks. And the packaging, thought it was padded, was a very tight fit which caused some slight damage to the corners of the book.
Fishpond.com.au has a massive selection of books, toys, CDs and DVDs at quite competitive prices (be sure to sign up their emails and keep an eye out for their insane specials!).
All shipping is free but as each item can come from a different supplier things may be shipped separately and take time to appear which is a little frustrating.
For example I recently bought four books and all came separately on different days across a period of 2 months.
One book did get lost but they are very good at offering refunds or resending the item. Overall I would say, if you don't need the items urgently you will find some excellent bargains and free shipping is always appreciated!
