Buy books online from Fishpond.com.au, Australias best online book store. We sell lots of new and used books, music and movies online at discount pricesBooks. Australia - It's shopping made easy.
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.
Have purchased from Fishpond.com.au many times. Recent purchase was Mario Bros jigsaw puzzle and a science circuit kit - Snap Circuits Extreme SC-750 (which is only available in the USA).
Prices are usually cheaper than other online stores selling the same product. However you need accept the cheaper price for the long shipping times. Shipping is free for all items which is a bonus but again you need to be patient with the delivery times.
I purchased the science circuit kit on 21/10/2012 and it still not here. In saying that Fishpond do send updates on the revised shipping dates, and will cancel the item if you wish not to proceed with buying due to delays in delivery. Once thing they do is if you have multiple items on one purchase they will ship individual items seperately.
I would purchase from here again but having past experience I wouldn't order any urgent items as delivery times are unpredictable.
I bought 'Killing Floor' from the Jack Reacher series from Fishpond! Fishpond have a great range of books for kids as well as adults and all prices are cheaper than what you would find at a local bookstore. Shipping is FREE which is great, however, shipping can take some time. The book took about 3 weeks to arrive at my house.
I managed to purchase my university textbook (Employment Relations) for much cheaper (saved roughly $20) than any other retail book shops or online shops. The website is user-friendly and easy to use and they offer free standard shipping which takes roughly 2 weeks.
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!
