frankie Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) I know, that would be the logic with most of people, but I really shouldn't buy any new books... Edited June 20, 2013 by frankie Quote
Michelle Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Neither should I - but I don't let that stop me! Quote
frankie Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I wonder how I completely managed to not notice the 25 hour sale. It was only on Tuesday that I last visited the website, trying to track down a book I wanted to buy most desperately... 54 minutes! Quote
frankie Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Oh man, I almost forgot about the whole thing but then remembered it, 1-2 minutes in, and couldn't resist buying the first offer And when I went to search for a picture of the book for you, all I got at first was pics from the inside, and was thus spoiled :lol: Quote
frankie Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Oh crap. I just realised it's 100 offers, not 25 - as in one every hour. It's one every 15 minutes Blimey.... Quote
Michelle Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Ooh yea - that's hard to keep up with! For goodness sake don't buy them all frankie! Quote
Ben Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Never used Book Depository before - Amazon tend to always have the book I'm interested in, at a cheaper price, and do free delivery anyway.. I can see why it'd be useful for those outside the UK or the US though, and this deal looks rather good (or not so good for the bank balance!). Quote
Athena Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I like the Book Depository however they don't provide tracking of packages for me (nor a tracking number). I prefer to know when something is going to arrive, so that's the only downside really. Also twice I received a book with a different cover than the one on the picture (it wasn't a big deal as I liked the covers I got better). Generally though I feel positive about them . Quote

Strange - I'm in Belgium and I do get a tracking number so I can see where things arrive. Maybe it's an issue with your account or something? You could contact TBD Quote
frankie Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Ooh yea - that's hard to keep up with! For goodness sake don't buy them all frankie! That's a fair warning! In the end I managed to go without purchasing any of the other books. Luckily one has to sleep in certain intervals and therefore manages to avoid x amount of hours and offers... I also missed some of the offers (not quite unexpectedly) because they were so numerous and I wasn't online to check the site every fifteen minutes. Did anyone else get any of the offers? Quote
Niamh Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Did anyone else get any of the offers? Not this time. I missed the free Edgar Ellen Poe book. By the time I got home, it was already sold out. If I´m not ordering used books, I tend to use Book Depository. The prices are mostly lower than amazons, and the search function is way better. Also, I love the free book marks. I once asked if they sell them too, but never got an answer. The only downside is, that it takes up to 10 days, for my books to cross the channel. Quote
Niamh Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 There was a free Edgar Allen Poe book? Darn Jep, and that made me wonder, if there´s a free book everytime they do the 25 hours thing. Quote
frankie Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Jep, and that made me wonder, if there´s a free book everytime they do the 25 hours thing. I've no idea myself. These things used to be 24 hour things, one offer per hour. But this time it was one offer per 15 minutes, so that was new, too! Quote
frankie Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I'm browsing BD's bargain bucket and found a few great bargains and thought I'd share on here in case anyone's interested: Love from Nancy: Letters of Nancy Mitford (5,99e, 48% off!) The Cave of the Yellow Dog (4,82e, 62% off!) Quote
frankie Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 C. C. Humphreys: Jack Absolute 3,73e (53% off) Kelley Armstrong: Personal Demon 3,81e (58% off) Quite a few Mark Billingham books under 5e Quote
Kylie Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Has anyone else noticed that the Book Depository seems to be a lot slower in shipping out orders these days? They used to process my orders (even big orders of a dozen or more books) within about three days, but lately I've noticed that it takes about a week (just for one book). I can't tell if this has been since they were taken over by Amazon, or whether it could be something else (just more users, maybe?) ETA: Maybe I'm just overreacting. I just went through and checked a lot of my back orders, and only comparatively few take a week or more. I guess I'm just impatient for my book! Quote

Have you checked how long they say it will take them to send each particular book? I think the number of days can vary for different books? Quote
Athena Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I didn't know they were taken over by Amazon.. not sure how that'll work since both of them sell books.. Quote
Little Pixie Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 The Book Dep. has ` 50 books, 50 offers, 25 hours` starting this Thursday, 7th November. Quote
frankie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I've been quite displeased with BookDepo for at least a month now. The Bargain Bucket has disappeared!! It's just not there where it used to be. I miss it. RIP, bargain bucket. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 BD has another one of those 50 books, 50 offers, 25 hours things starting tomorrow (4th March) at 9am. More here. Quote
frankie Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 ^ Kylie mentioned it on FB. It made me want to cry. I'm really not supposed to buy any books for various reasons, and they go and put another awesome 25 hours sale together. Quote
Michelle Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Don't forget to click on the advert at the top of the forum to get there. Quote
