Dju Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I tend to use the American book depository rather than the UK one though. I always use PayPal for all my online shopping where it's available. Delivery is same no matter as all books sent fom Uk warehouse, prices seem to be nearly the same as well And another thumbs down here for fishpond,awful delivery time and had to keep following up Does the UK site charge in pounds or USD? i'm curious to know if having the AUD so high against the Greenback works in my favour by using the US site. If you go to booko.com.au and search for the title of your book, it will convert the currency for you and you will be able to see which one ends up cheaper. I find sometimes the US one cheaper and sometimes the UK one cheaper, so this is why there's a search engine available to compare all the options available.

arctic.crocodile Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Or they could go to Booko.com.au, which lists every place you can buy the book, ranging from the cheapest to the most expensive in price This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 www.betterworldbooks.com there is a flat delivery charge, but often the total amount is comparible to those with free shipping, and I find they're fantastic if you don't mind a second hand book that's a bit hard to find. I love them because profits go to world literacy causes and they save books from going to landfill (ie from libraries etc). They are US based and I receive books usually within the 1 week mark.
