Annie would shop at Fishpond again.
Alright
I bought a textbook from Fishpond for about 70% of the price in most bookstores. Shipping was free for my item but even including shipping, which varies per book- their prices are extremely competitive. Shipping was quite quick and came after 4 days of ordering.

Books at discounted prices
I have used fishpond before for my children's school books. I always make sure I do a price check and usually they are the cheapest. This time I bought a text book, delivered to my door for nearly half the price of the local bookshop without delivery. Saves me a lot of time and money.

Excellent bookshop
I ordered a book as a Christmas present for my niece and I was very happy with the delivery time and price of the book. Fishpond's prices are very competitive.

Very Satisfactory
I purchased a cookbook: Iron Chef Chen's Knockout Chinese at a very good price here. Other places are a lot more expensive and that's not including shipping prices. Here, the shipping is not only free, the prices are a lot lower. Also, the shipping was fast, prompt and sometimes comes before the indicated estimated arrival date. I would definitely continue shopping here.

Cheap textbooks and free shipping!
I recently purchased a textbook for university from Fishpond (The Immune System by Peter Parham). It was the cheapest I had seen, roughly $40 cheaper than my university book store, even with student discount!

The site was easy to navigate and offers plenty of information on the product itself. You can track your order online and they also send email updates.

My book was dispatched one week after placing the order and took another 2 business days to be delivered, which was well before the expected delivery date. The book was packaged neatly in cardboard so it came undamaged, and shipping was free.

Overall, very happy with my experience with Fishpond :) Shipping time may be longer than some, but the huge discounts and free shipping totally make up for that.

An alternative to Book Depository
I ordered "Every Grain of Rice", a cookbook by Fuchsia Dunlop on 23 April 2013. I received an immediate order confirmation, and on 24 April, an order update stating that a third party, "Books Fiction" had been notified to ship the item. It was estimated that delivery take between 7-10 days, and book was received on 2 May 2013. Item was well packaged and came with all the required invoicing.

Very happy with my first Fish Pond experience. I may not need to order from Book Depository any more!

I love Fish Pond. Seriously love it. I have bought so many hard-to-find books on this website, at reasonable prices, with free delivery.

Does it get any better than that?

This last order was for two amazing books coming in from the USA. After making the order I received an email saying one of the books was out of stock, but I kept the order for the other book anyway.

I can't remember how long shipping took, but I think it was the standard amount of time.

Don't hesitate to buy from this superstore. It's so much easier than having to go from store to store searching for an item. Who has time for that? :)
