Before we jump into today's post I need to let you know that I'm an affiliate for Book Depository which means I'll earn a small compensation if you buy though the links in the post. That said, I'd be doing this post even if I wasn't an affiliate for them because Book Depository is awesome!
What is Book Depository?
This is what they have to say about themselves:
Book Depository (bookdepository.com) is a leading international book retailer with a unique offer -- over 20 million books and free delivery worldwide (with no minimum spend).We ship thousands of books every day from our fulfillment centres in Gloucester, United Kingdom, and Melbourne, Australia, to more than 130 countries across the world -- displaying prices in 26 different local currencies.Our vision is to provide “All Books Available to All” by improving selection, access and affordability of books.
Book Depository was acquired by Amazon in 2011.
Why I Love Book Depository
1. Free shipping worldwide
Book Depository offers FREE international shipping. Now I'm pretty sure that is a plus for anyone but for people like me that live in countries where English language books are limited, and often expensive, it's a HUGE bonus.
I recently went to one of the big name bookstores here in Rome and found a book from my wish list. I found the same book on Book Depository for much less.
2. Fast Delivery
Book Depository also has one of the best delivery services I've ever come across. Not only is it free, it's fast too!
The Italian postal system is not great. In fact, to be completely honest with you, it sucks... big time. Despite this, Book Depository always manages to get my orders delivered to me in a matter of days.
Even when I placed an order on 12th December for The Snowman, the book arrived in time for Christmas. My kids love reading along with the audio CD included with the book. Italian postal system + Christmas and it got here on time. That's as close to a miracle at you can get!
The books are always well packaged and in perfect condition.
3. Bookmarks
With my recent orders Book Depository have gifted me some free bookmarks too as an added bonus.
I'm looking forward to seeing what ones I get with my next orders. I collect bookmarks so this is a lovely extra for me.
4. Great Selection of Books
With over 20 million books available on site there's plenty to suit everyone's reading tastes.
They have a great selection of books available for pre-order too.
