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.
I've ordered about 10 books and DVDs from them over the last few months. All have arrived in reasonable time. It's great to know my money is going to an oz store rather than an overseas one
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.
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.
Ordered a paperback edition of Raimond Gaita's "Romulus, My Father", after signing up for their rewards program (saved me 20% on the book). Order was dispatched the next day, and I received it 2 days later – free shipping is fantastic. Great range, prices and shipping. I think this used to be Borders, before they went bankrupt. I've found sites with cheaper prices, but I couldn't find the book I ordered anywhere else for a cheaper price.
Bookworld is my go-to website for books. Sign up as a citizen and you get an extra 10% off their already cheap price. I bought four books: The Rosie Project, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes and the Happiness Trap. The first three were from their Australian distributor and I got them within a week of ordering - PERFECT! The condition of the books were great, not bent like I had once received from an online retailer. The Quiet book however was a bit dirty, but the cover is white so kind of expected but I was still a little disappointed. The book 'The Happiness Trap' was ordered from the UK distribution centre and I am expecting it next week sometime. I like that we can order different (and even cheaper) versions from overseas for no extra cost to shipping. Bookworld are great, and I will continue to shop here!
