As other users have noticed, there has been a slight decrease is service since Amazon took over, but for what is generally a far better price than you get get elsewhere, as well as free shipping, it's easy to live with.

Shipping is usually up to two weeks, but can take three.

Book Depository have 10% sales a few times a year, so use the wishlist to save your books and come back when you have a voucher - sign up for emails to make sure you get them.

NOTE: .com and .co.uk are often slightly different prices but can vary by a few $, so check both before purchasing to save a little extra.

Until now I would have agreed with the other users. I have been using this site for many years now and been extremely satisfied. Recently I have noticed a change in the level of service. I know that they were recently bought out by Amazon, which could explain the change. I ordered a book 3 weeks ago and have still not received my order. I noticed that the book was not dispatched until 5 days after my order was placed. Bookdepository claim to be able to deliver to Australia within 5-7 working days: it's been nearly a month! I have contacted the company who first asked me to wait until the 4th July to notify them. I contacted them on the 4th and they are now telling me to wait until the 15th. As I was in a bit of a hurry to obtain this book, it is somewhat disappointing. I am going to have to purchase it somewhere else and hope it doesn't turn up in the meantime.

That's good to know as I loved Book Depository & haven't used it for a while.

I purchase almost all of my books from The Book Depository and until my last order, a month or so ago, hadn't noticed any delay in shipping. In 9 out of 10 cases I receive the order in less than a fortnight, sometimes closer to a week.

I have ordered again from Bookdepository and they appear to be back on track. I will continue to order from them. They were very apologetic about my book not turning up and offered me a full refund.

If you're willing to wait on postage, this is the best service available. The name is well known for a reason, and it offers amazing prices, cheap/free postage, and a huge range. Im a frequent user, and I will continue to be.

I've done an enormous amount of business through Book Depository and have always been very happy with the quality of the product that I get. They offer a huge range of books and prices that are usually half what you would pay here. Once I bought a book that would have cost me $100 here, but on Book Depository it only cost me about $35. The thing was massive and would have probably cost me about $20-$30 in postage alone, but because shipping is free it cost me nothing extra! Yes it may take a couple of weeks but its worth the wait if you are paying so little for your purchase. I have recommended this online store to all my friends and family.

I buy heaps of books from the book depository, the books are often half the price that they would be in the shops and there is a huge range too

The prices at the book depository are always fantastic, and I love how they all include free shipping to Australia. The shipping times are a little slow though, it can take up to 2 weeks for a book to arrive, but hey, it's cheap!

Approximate cost: $20

The free shipping is amazing- totally agree!

Usually the cheapest for online books. Always recommending to family and friends. Very fast postage and they do great deals for non profit organisations.
