    Did you receive any book from this website? The prices seem very low compared to bookshop so not sure if I should risk placing a large order for xmas in case I receive nothing? also how could postage be free :confused:

    Couldn't recommend them highly enough. They are usually far cheaper than the likes of Waterstones, Dubray, Easons etc. I've used them loads of times. They're a great outfit and they've never let me down.

    I recently purchased from this site for the first time, I bought 5 books and I've received 4 but I'm presuming the last one is delayed due to the weather.
    Found them to be great value. One book was three times the price from Easons website and I had to pay delivery as well.

    where to buy cheap ugg boots with good quality?

    i was reading another section of boards.ie where I see you answered a question about ugg boots and you recommended a website you used. So it doesn't make sense why you are now asking a question which you previously answered...

    I've d bookdepository loads of times and never a problem.
    One thing I will say though, and I'm not 100% sure its still true, but they add on a few % to prices if you have a non-UK IP address.

    I'm going to back up the general consensus here and give a thumbs up to book depository. I've ordered off them many times before and found them excellent. Great prices, and always delivered.

    Agree with all the above - one bit of advise i always use paypal with them - i ordered one book last year by credit card cos i wanted a different delivery address and they put the order thru twice and sent the book twice - i got refunded eventually when i agrued that i only authorised my card the once and only got one confirmation email.

    So just be carefull if any crashing in system when u going to pay cos it may have already gone thru.

    I hasnt deterried me from using the site cos ive used it loads of times since and no problems.

    Hi dockc
    Exact same thing happened with me from an order i put through on Sunday

    Website crashed during the ordering process.
    Basket however was still there when i checked
    And received no order confirmation.

    So i put the order through again
    And have now been charged twice on my CC

    Waiting to hear back from their "Help@" at the moment...
    Are they usually quick in responding to help queries?

    Well it was last Jan that i was dealing with them and i had a bit of back and forth being honest - they showed that i had 2 orders in the space of 15mins and said that i could return one (at my own cost of postage) evenually i asked them the following:

    Can you please advise why I only received one notification of this book purchase and I do not recall authorising my card twice?

    and it was only after that that they emailed to say they had a problem with there system and said that they would refund which they did and i could keep the 2nd book.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Ciara,
    My experience is that they are kosher, the only problem is that some books arrive real quick, & others take a good while to arrive. I think they probably carry less stock than Amazon, or something.

    has anyone noticed that the prices change very frequently, maybe daily, theres a few more books I was thinking about getting once the 1st order arrives, so i've looked at them over past few days, 1 was 55% off during the week, now its just 7% off today:mad: but its gone the other way for a few others where the % discount has increased.

    The prices fluctuate quite often. Your best bet is to create a wishlist and check it every now and again for the best % discount.

    Love the bookdepository but it only ever lets me order by credit card. Whenever I try using paypal it gives me a 'Paypal is currently unavailable' message.

    Anyone else getting the same problem?

    You have to go to the website via the link given on the 1st page. Probably to stop people getting cashback from places like Fatcheese. I couldn't it out either, thought for a while it was 1 discount per customer. Have placed 3 orders now with the 10% off, so happy days!

    I used fatcheese with it, just click on the link in fatcheese and then change the portion of the address after .co.uk to the corresponding part of the special offer page for the discount and order with the code. Fatcheese brings up an option to verify order for the book depository after a few hours where you just have to put in order number, address and total spent.
