Dear Customer

Thank you for waiting whilst we were working on our website. We're back now!

Although it looks exactly the same, there are quite a few new improvements to the site. Items now stay in your shopping basket for longer (they used to disappear when you closed your browser), and our catalogue and availability have also increased. In addition, we've sorted out all the stuff we need to get the .com version of our site live over the coming week.

As a thank you for your patience you can use the following code in your basket to get 10% off your order:

itlives (this will only work until the end of tomorrow, July 15th).

In order to use the code you MUST visit the site via the link:

www.bookdepository.co.uk/andweareback

Given that we've just changed lots of things on the site, please shout if you see anything that is not working.

Thanks again

Kieron

Maybe the reason he posted it again Iggy is because the thread you're referring to has a big red EXPIRED next to it.

I'm unable to access the site at all at the moment. It was working okay yesterday though.

It was working fine for me this afternoon.

But the last few orders from them have had long delays in processing with out any communication at all from them. They seemed to do nothing with the orders till I followed up with a mail to them. Hopefully they will get what ever the problem is sorted soon.

I could swear prices have gone up a euro or two since this morning. Is it a case of some exchange rate change or are they pulling a sly one? I had one book in the shopping basket and it seems to have the old lower price.

They redesigned their site earlier this year and silently introduced IP based pricing, unlike play.xom forcing us to pay the higher euro price they make the exchange rate fair but the actual price is higher if you're outside the UK.

I checked prices before and it was USA > EU > UK, so not quite free international shipping. Last night it there was uniform pricing, perhaps why people thought there was a great reduction, and now it's back to IP based pricing, which is why we're noticing an increase.

Just as an example from the home page:
Reheated Cabbage: UK £8.37 vs. IRL £9.34

(I used a UK proxy to check the prices.)

Did you not purchase through the proxy? 3V is your best friend
