frankie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 ^ Which ones did you get? Did anyone else go crazy with the 25 hour sale? Also, check out the new bookmarks! Designed by some very talented customers of BD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleW Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wow, I would want some of those bookmarks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 They are really great, aren't they! I loved how they made the whole thing into a competition. If I remember correctly, BD chose 10 winners and let the customers decide on the rest. They had the bookmarks on their FB page and you could vote for the bookmarks you liked. It was great fun So many great entries, I'm glad I didn't have to decide my favorites but could click on 'like' for all the ones I fancied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleW Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I didn't vote myself, but I like that system. I hate those competitions where you have to choose one out of a hundred or more. You'll forgett most of what you saw until your done with looking or you decide on the first ones and those on the last places will never stand a chance.

It doesn't serve the purpose very well, or at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The Book Depository is doing another 25-hour sale starting on 1 July. Check here for your local start time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I was ordering a few books on BookDepo a few days ago and remembered the good advice by Michelle Just to say, if anyone's shopping there, could you click on a banner first.. Many thanks! Every penny is a good penny for the BCF! (I made it my mission to order each book by going on the site through BCF ) Just wanted to remind other people about this when I remembered it myself for once!

Michelle Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I usually get an email when someone does this, but I haven't had one for ages - I'll have to check later that it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I've done it too whenever I have brought books from BCF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm not sure if it's ever worked for me, as I don't use 'autologin' and the squigly stuff in the link that appears when you click on the banner (in the URL bar), disappears when I have logged in and am redirected to the index page. Maybe it means one has to be logged in before clicking the banner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Another 25-hour sale has started at the Book Depository (started half an hour ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I got the e-mail about it and quickly deleted it and hoped that I would forget about it, but now I've seen this and Michelle's banner post and am thus reminded of the sale.... Crap! Edited May 12, 2015 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Can I just forward the invoice to you? Edit: It's apparently started now!! Edited May 12, 2015 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_girl Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I love Book depository.. I live in Europe and it's hard to find books with cheap postage and with BD i dont have to pay the postage fee. Wish they put more discount on books though.

frankie Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 There used to be a bargain bucket, and there were loads of books there, but then it disappeared... I don't know if it's there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 What about this? Does that link work for you? It shows the bargain shop here. They have redone the website, I'm not used to the new layout yet to be honest (but then, I haven't bought any more books so I haven't used it much. Self-restraint!).

frankie Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 After my last post I went to visit the website (using the banner link on here! ) and noticed the bargain store, yes. But it's so different from what it used to be, and seems like there aren't as many titles there. It doesn't help that I can't remember what it used to be like, though I just remember that it was bigger and better! The site's definitely changed, overall, the last time I visited. In the bargain store section I felt like the covers of the books were sort of blurred. Didn't like it at all. So strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookShelfy91 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I recently bought a couple of books from The Book Depository, the second time I have used their services. Very impressed both times. Fast service and loving the free shipping....Knowing about this site could turn expensive. Cheers, Shelfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 ^ Just you wait till you come by one of their 24 hour sales.... They'll offer one book at a reduced price, maybe 500 copies, at each hour, for 24 hours. Sometimes if it's a really popular book, it'll be sold out in a matter of a minute. The offers are really mixed: cook books, children's books, fiction, non-fiction... Personally, a lot of uninteresting stuff, but sometimes there are some crazy wonderful offers! And it's always a thrill to refresh the page on the hour and see what they've offered next These sales come around maybe 2-4 times per year.... Some of us get newsletters from BookDepo and so if we have been paying attention to our inboxes, we post about the upcoming sale in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The post hasn't been that reliable to here lately, as I'm still waiting for two books from Book Depository (just like two months ago when I was also waiting on a book). I've contacted them, last time they were very friendly and provided good service, so I have good hopes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well, I still have a lot of other unread books , but these were meant to be presents for my birthday so I would've liked to have had them on my birthday. I've contacted BD and they've said they will send me replacement copies, so that's great . Hopefully these will arrive. I told them I would let them know if the originals were to arrive. Their service is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
