Awful, awful, never use.
I bought here because the price was a little cheaper. No information given, package was so so slow for Australia. Not impressed. Will not be shopping here again.

CHEAP AS site
Ordered 2 audiobooks which would normally cost $30 each in store for only $11 each and a book that I couldn't seem to find anywhere in Australia.

With free shipping, this was a great site to order from.

They were pre-orders too, and received an email saying that my pre-orders were recorded.

Even getting additional emails saying that there would be a delay in the release of the audiobook so as to not worry.

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.

Low prices, but delivery quality could improve
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.

Massive Selection, Low Prices and Free Shipping
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!

CHEAPEST BOOKS ONLINE
I purchased a digital photography book set, was cheaper than all the major book stores and had free shippng.

Shipping did take 3 weeks as was shipped from the UK - but I would recommend provided you aren't in a hurry for your item.

Best prices for textbooks so far
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.
