best bookshop website ever

nome

www.awesomebooks.co.uk


sorry if this sites been mentioned befor just recently stumbles across it myself, it sells secondhand books, majority of which are only £1.99 each, and FREE delivery if you buy 2 or more books,you cant go wrong!

it can be hard to find books unless you know exactly what you want cos its not broken down into sub catagories but i just go the amazon, make a list of books i might like and fire away and delivery only takes about a week, brilliant for my book colection, and not so bad for the old credit card,

enjoy

Sounds great, will have a look now!

There must be a catch with the supposedly free shipping... No?

Denerick

Bought Brave New World, Crome Yellow and Main street for a combined fee of about 6 euros... With supposedly no shipping. Still waiting for the catch, but so far doesn't seem to be one!

Sad Professor

I ordered a few books from them last year. No problems. They are a fairly well known Amazon Marketplace seller.

Thanks a million for posting that link nome , - just placed an order myself and will definitely be buying more from them

mcgovern

For those who got their orders, what was the condition of the books like?

Denerick

Top notch. They're second hand, some people can't seem to stand second hand books but I don't mind at all. Very readable indeed.

MarthaT

thanks for the link, saw a few Im going to pick up

angeldaisy

thanks for that link. just bought 9 books and only spent 18euro - bargain!! even cheaper now than the charity shops - oxfam still charging around 3e per book!
just waiting for them to be delivered now - can't wait to get reading:D

sunshine rose

This is brilliant, there's a few i'm looking forward to purchasing:D
Just wondering do the books arrive by standard post or courier?(I've never bought books on-line before so I don't know what usually happens:o)

Standard post, and its really quick delivery too.

angeldaisy

I ordered 8 books Thursday last and they have just arrived now. Excellent service, will definately be using again. bargain price and free delivery too - can't lose.

Does anyone know, if the same book is returned a few times on a search, for differing prices, does this reflect better quality...i.e. from 1.99 to 2.32 ...or is it some supplier issue?

Pep

Is anyone else having problems using this site? The search function seems to have stopped working.

Its a bit slow. Just be persistent and try again. I dont mind waiting for it when i know im getting such a bargain

Excallant site and well done to the OP for the heads up. I ordered my 3 books this morning which normally cost me about 15 euro on play.com, in used condition and they cost me 7 euro.

however on my order when I confirmed the purchase I seen an extra book with the same reference as the Terry Pratchett one I ordered and this has now suddeny been added to my credit card bill which I did not agree to. So i sent an instant message to their customer service and it will be interesting to see what the customer service is like. I will keep you posted, either way I am still uo money wise as the prices are exceptional but still i dont want a book about Elvis dying young

davyjose

Maaan, I just spent 25 quid on books - tonight at bookdepository.co.uk. Well, this'll come to great use next month. Cheers OP

daveyboy_1ie

So far no corresponance from them but the amount gone charged to my credit card seems to match my original order so they must have caught their error. Fair play to them, hopefuly the books arrive now. so far i am very impressed indeed and I would usually buy 3/4 books a month online (it beats Eason's prices anyway)

daveyboy_1ie

Email from awesome books (below), all in all I am VERY pleased with the whole service offered, they seem first class.

Dear Dave,

Thanks for your email - apologies for the delayed reply.

The error was simply a technical issue, you have not been charged extra or sent the extra books.

Warmest Regards,

Eliza

Aye, me too. I got 5 books for about 13e. Fast efficent service despite a simliar error to the one above regarding the same code for two books.

daveyboy_1ie

Just to follow up, books arrived and all is good, only the 3 I ordered arrived. Highly recomended.

TedB

I've used this website before - free postage just beggars belief. They've a good range of history books about as well.
