Book Depository 25 hour sale

Whiplashy

The sale starts Thursday at midday. 50 books on offer over 25 hours. I got a few great bargains last time. You need to be glued to the website to get them though. The best ones sell out really quick

Book Depo...sigh. I ordered two books last Friday and they're still "Processing". Why do I keep using them? It's an abusive relationship.

Haha! I often ask myself the same thing! Last time I ordered I got 6 books and received them in 6 different deliveries over a 2 week period. But I saved €30 compared to Amazons prices so I keep going back

One book every half hour. In previous sales it was one book every one hour.

This the link to the Book Depository http://www.bookdepository.co.uk

There is no mention of the sale on the website though - that I can see anyway

Probably because the most popular ones sell out in a lot less than a half an hour. And the less popular ones are just not going to sell - might as well move on to the next one sooner.

I hadn't noticed it was one every half hour this time. Thur/Fri are going to be very unproductive days in work this week!

There's no confusion with the OP.

The sale starts Thursday at midday.

Thank for sharing this

My last 2 orders from them were a bit slow but I eventually got them. One book was about €10 cheaper than my local book shop so I didn't mind waiting.

I've been a bit disappointed by these sales in the past but I'll keep my eye on it anyway.

Oh thats on my bday, hopefully ill manage to get something nice for myself;) last time wasn't too successful

There is a delivery to Eire charge of £7.45 unless you buy over £25 worth of books.

So these Book Depository sales are quite reasonable deals if you can get them.

Probably get revenue from big clients direct i'd assume, I just know their cut doesn't effect our pay price so it's all good on our side.
However they can take forever to actually get around to rewarding you with money. I got about 20 euro from them that i've been waiting on for half a year this morning.

Yes whatever way I clicked in it looked like there was a new book and 13 mins to go had looked within the 30 mins so, anyways

kerry4sam

I wonder if their have been many of the books left to sell after the 30mins. I was missing for most of this afternoon and evening, but from when it started and when I tuned back in this evening, they all seemed to be selling out.

Could be down to fact of only 250 of each to sell though

nibtrix

I've seen nearly all of them and they've almost all sold out, mostly in the first 3-8 minutes.

Any kids books are sold out in 3 minutes!!
