    Nice one... Had a couple of books that I've been meaning to buy, and they're pretty much the cheapest place for them online before the discount is even used:)

    Am I the only one who can't get this to work? I go to checkout out page, but the coupon code box isn't anywhere to be seen.

    I think you have to click through on the initial OP's link and enter the code there?

    Normally with the bookdepository you have to go through the link provided, only then can you use the code.

    Weird, I picked a book that was around 14 Euro in my basket, but when I clicked checkout it was suddenly 23 Euro!

    I've noticed in the past the % discount advertised for a particular book sometimes changes at midnight, so Thursday it could be 55% off, then Friday its 11% off etc, not sure if thats what happened in your case.

    I think he means the base cost of the book increased after he used a discount code.


    Blastman, Was the book perhaps already on sale, and "can not be used with any other offer"?

    Just remember to check the .com site for comparison as this can sometimes give you a better price that the .co.uk site combined with the 10% discount.

    How do I get the code to work with .com website? I've tried pasting link and just changing the co.uk to .com but that didn't work. Thanks!

    Yes. I have. Thanks!

    I think I misunderstood that other poster. I believe they meant the .com site can be cheaper than .co.uk price even with 10% code for co.uk, which is very true on one book I want. But others I want are more expensive. :pac:
