Many readers in our network of lit blogs know that some of us link to The Book Depository as a source of reasonably priced books that are despatched around the world for no cost …
Well now I am here to tell you that their service is second to none!
A little while ago I ordered Barcelona by Robert Hughes, but it has gone astray somewhere. Not only have the BD offered to replace it, they are despatching it to my London hotel, so that I can read it before I get to Spain.
Sensational, eh?
BTW while I’m away I have altered the settings for comments, so there will be a delay before they appear.
I love the Book Depository,great service great prices my favorite onlone book shop.

That is indeed wonderful! I had one disappointing experience with them but they ended up making up for it. Overall I am very pleased with their service.
Enjoy your trip!

I’ll have to keep them in mind for my next online purchase. The shipping from Amazon is always horrendous, and it clearly knows you’re in Australia and offers prices in Australian dollars from the outset. Amazon doesn’t do that either.
I didn’t realise you’d already left on your travels. I’m sure it will be so fantastic. I look forward to reading your travel blog posts, and having a glimpse of the fun myself.

I’ve introduced my dad to the Book Depository… he has already had his first splurge and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly his order arrived.

Agreed – an excellent service from BD. And they pay a small commission on sales too
