By working with various world postal authorities and other carriers, we are pleased to offer Free Worldwide Delivery. The Book Depository was founded in 2004 with the aim of making "All books available to All" through pioneering supply chain initiatives, republishing and digitizing of content. Currently The Book Depository is able to ship 1.3 million unique titles at keen prices from our fulfillment centre in Gloucester, United Kingdom (within 48 hours) and this figure grows and grows everyday.
All four books I've ordered through them have come in 7-10 days total.
So far they've been both cheaper and faster than Amazon.
I ordered four more books on the 22nd of June; one arrived on the 27th, and another arrived today. They are doing better than when I order stock in to my local Angus and Robertson, who took three weeks the last time I tried.
I checked prices on bunch of books and they are all cheaper at Amazon. Spend $25.00 or more to get free shipping.
Amazon ships to Australia for free?
If your talking about the super saver shipping which applies to selected items only, then this is only available the 50 united states only. Shipping to Australia is $5 / book + $5 / shipment, AND it takes 16-32 business days (up to 6 weeks!)
Agree. Shipping to Australia from Amazon is expensive and a very lengthy process. In fact 3 weeks shipping for books from UK is very good.
ok, I'm sold. There should be a cheaper option than waiting for 3 weeks for books to arrive from UK.
Wow, for the book I was after they're cheaper than betterworld even with a coupon there. The invoice said 3-7 working days for delivery. The book I ordered was "Why Women Talk and Men Walk" It's nice to read a relationship book that isn't completely useless.
Betterworld is still cheaper for lonely planet.
Looking at the titles they seem to be remaindered stock. The stuff you can buy on the high street for $5 anyway.
Have you tried searching for current tiles:
e.g. the Complete Far Side (GBP 65 - A$140 ish) vs nearly $300 at borders in Australia, if you can find it.
I've been buying books from this site for one year. Shipping is normally 1-2 weeks.
I have started using this search engine ( http://www3.addall.com/ ) to find books as cheap as possible. Have put my last order through Abebooks and will see how things go.
CISSP Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 4th Ed. (All-in-One) is 32GBP = 66.53AUD on book depository, but there are cheaper places hear.

Thanks for this! Great. Makes you realise how overpriced books are here in Australia.
Like lots of other things! Importers must be making a killing with the strong Aussie dollar.
You mean it wasn't always free delivery?
No bad prices with the current exchange. Expected delivery to Australia is 7-14 working days, so depends if your willing to wait up to 3 weeks…
