Borders, now known as Bookworld has free shipping on all their products. I purchased some discounted books which arrived in perfect condition within 4 working days. The prices are quite competitive and many items are cheaper than can be found in store. Customer service was also quite helpful in helping me with general queries.
I was searching for a specific plant book that I could not get in a local bookstore and found the price offered by Bookworld to be close to half of that offered in most other online stores.
Their online store was straightforward, and easy to use, and communication during the whole process could not be better.
Shipping was free, and the order page stated that delivery would take 10 to 15 working days, and it arrived in 8.
Bookworld, in my opinion is great for textbooks. From the site I purchased a mathematics book, 'New Senior Mathematics, extension 2', new for 70 dollars including postage. The book arrived in pristine condition and there was no errors regarding payment or delivery. It was a stress free sale and for that I am happy about the site and my purchase. It's an Australian bookstore and thus all purchases are high quality. This site is great and versatile thus I believe it is a high classified site competing against well against other online bookstores such as booktopia.com.
160690124533 New Senior Mathematics: Four Unit Course For Year 12 1 $69.95 AUD $69.95 AUD
Borders delivered it well, however my particular choice of such book was not all the more perfect. The 4 unit maths book is okay, and slightly too easy for conventional year 12 4u courses. Although, some areas are very challenging. The book also doesn't offer written introductions to new theories, well only a little. The book bases its learning on examples, which can make learning tricky.
Being Australia based, the delivery took around 3-4 business days, In my opinion it is reasonable, as opposed to international delivery time lags.
A great thing about Borders is the free delivery, although I've noticed some of their products are cheaper on the shelves, so I wonder if the delivery gets factored in... nonetheless it's easier than getting to a Borders (my closest one is 25km away) and books arrive in reasonable time. In this order, they all arrived separately (different suppliers) between 7-14 days - so be organised if it's for a gift.
I ordered The Wonderful World of Dr. Seuss, 20 Book Set, ISBN: 9780007823505 from bookworld.com.au
I used 2 x 10% discounts, one just for being a member and the 10% off books until 8 March 2013 Voucher (BW-IBRA83). This reduced the cost including shipping from $20.99 to $16.79. Amazing price for 20 great kids books!
Shipping was fast - it only took a week. Ordering was simple. A great website for booklovers with free Aussie shipping, what's not to love? 5 stars!
