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.
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 like Fishpond because it offers free shipping, they are able to order a tooth creme I use from Overseas and deliver it within 8-10 working days. The website is a little cluttered to use but the prices make up for that small inconvenience. I would recommend Fishpond for harder to find items.
I purchased a cook book from this site for about $25. It was an Australian cook book so I wasn't able to buy it from any of the overseas sites like Amazon. Fishpond offered the cheapest price around and free shipping. It arrived within a week of ordering it and was packaged well so it arrived undamaged. Was quite happy and would shop there again.
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 was looking for some make up brushes of Synthetic & Natural Bristles that were good and affordable that would last long and work well.
I read some reviews and Coastal Scent were apparently the most afforable yet amazing brushes.
I searched online and Fish Pond search result came up so I went to Fish pond to check it out.
I found that they were selling the 22 set brush for 65.99 free shipping! this was a bargain as everywhere else like ebay were $80plus.
I received the following: This set includes the following brushes: 1. Large Fan (Synthetic) 2. Powder Buffer (Synthetic) 3. Round Powder (Synthetic) 4. Flat Buffer (Synthetic) 5. Angle Blush (Goat Hair) 6. Foundation (Fiber Hair) 7. Concealer (Nylon Hair) 8. Large Shadow (Pony Hair) 9. Blender (Pony Hair) 10. Doe Foot Blender (Pony Hair) 11. Dome Shadow (Pony Hair) 12. Dome Blender (Pony Hair) 13. Medium Shadow (Pony Hair) 14. Detail Shadow (Pony Hair) 15. Lip (Pony Hair) 16. Detail Concealer (Fiber Hair) 17. Pointed Blender (Pony Hair) 18. Brow (Pony Hair) 19. Smudger Sponge (Rubber) 20. Large Liner / Brow (Nylon Hair) 21. Medium Liner / Brow (Nylon Hair) 22. Small Liner / Brow (Nylon Hair)
All of these brushes are super soft and work great. Especially the flat buffer, these are great quality brushes for a great price. I would definitely recommend
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 ordered a product from fishpond.com.au as a gift and took advantage of their offer to send a e-announcement to the recipient about their impending gift. A day or two later I received a thank you note from my friend. The next day I received a message from fishpond saying that they were cancelling the order b/c the product was not available. I contacted them to suggest that they do not send out the gift announcement until they are sure they can deliver the product. I was very disappointed with the attitude of the customer relations team, which basically was "too bade - it's all covered in the fine print about terms and conditions of sale". OK, if Fishpond doesn't care about its customers, I will look for a company that does.
