Oz dollar is at a 27 year high against the GBP.
This is a great deal for the complete Peter Rabbit hardcover book set in a gift box.

This beautiful gift box has been produced to celebrate 110 years since the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit and contains all 23 Original Peter Rabbit Books. What makes this edition even more unique is that each of the books has a gorgeous new cover, specially designed endpapers and a publisher's note describing how each book came to be.

This set of books contains the tales of all of Beatrix's lovable characters, from naughty Peter Rabbit himself, to tidy Mrs. Tittlemouse and unlucky Mr. Jeremy Fisher. Each tale, with its exquisite soft watercolour artwork, will delight and charm adults and children alike.

    Oh wow, what a lovely set, how much is this set usually (do they sell them in Australia and if so what is the average price)? $59 seems a steal though!

    EDIT: Just saw this item on Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/World-Peter-Rabbit-Complete-Collecti… - £120… eekk (and its not even a special edition set)! Also just noticed the RRP £140, far out!

    $50 if delivered to a workplace….

    although their site is difficult to navigate, needing you to put your state in first, before you browse

      OMG why did you just post this website!?!? I already have 4 BIG items in my shopping cart… this can't be good :)

      • andy19363 on 18/01/2012 - 17:18

        :)

        • beccy_babe on 18/01/2012 - 17:28

          But seriously, thanks, just spent $117, had to buy the Peter Rabbit and also Dr Seuss ($2 cheaper on Amazon, but oh well) and also a couple of other books. Good way to start our kids book collection!!

    • Cap N on 18/01/2012 - 17:19

      Confusing, do you have to be a member to purchase?

      Do they leave a display box at my workplace?

      Not clear how it works plus $60 for VIC, might as well go for Amazon.co.uk. Less complicated…

        I just purchased the $50 set from Lifetime Distrib's, not the exact same box set as above, but still has the 23 books.

        • StewBalls on 18/01/2012 - 20:38

          Yep, both would make a lasting gift for a child. :)

    • cheapsk8 on 18/01/2012 - 18:46

      The old version (hardcover, no dust jacket) of the box set is only $40 (in WA at least).

    • Abbycat on 18/01/2012 - 21:28

      I think the lifetime ones are hardcover, & I think the Amazon ones might be softcover.

    • wozz on 21/01/2012 - 15:16

      I bought it from there before xmas Andy - good website!
      Damn cheap

  • vickster on 18/01/2012 - 17:41

    I have ordered a few books from Lifetime before. Took ages to arrive (I'm in Outer Adelaide), and also one of the books was in poor condition. They sell books by distributing them to your workplace where people can look through them etc, therefore the books are not often in mint condition.

    • andy19363 on 18/01/2012 - 22:00

      I haven't bought many, but the ones I have bought have all been fine…..
      I always paid the shipping to my house though….. not that it should make any difference

    • wozz on 21/01/2012 - 15:18

      undercut - it depends on your distributor.
      I'm in Frenchs Forest - they did take a while to deliver to me (like 1 month even though online it said i'd hear back in a few days).
      But the books I received were mint - the local distributor doesn't let people look at them here anymore because too many went walkabouts.. Lucky for me

    £39.99

    How come AUD$60 include postage?
    Is the postage free?

    • undercut on 18/01/2012 - 21:09

      free super-saver shipping to Aust when you spend over 25 GBP

  • auMouth on 18/01/2012 - 20:46

    Order Total: GBP 39.99
    (Payment Total: AUD 61.35**)

    How did you get $59 inc postage? Or were you rounding down to make it look better?

    • undercut on 18/01/2012 - 21:09

      I used the conversion on xe.com
      I never pay with Amazon conversion rates, cos they are not as good as the rates I get when using my 28 Degrees Mastercard

  • soan papdi on 18/01/2012 - 23:48

    Can anyone comment if this collection is any different? It's only 16.53GBP and has all 23 books in hardcover.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatrix-Potter-Complete-Tales-Origin…

    • scampy on 19/01/2012 - 00:19

      plus 8.70GBP shipping

      "Care should be taken by buyers that this is the 23 tales in one large book, not the 23 tales in 23 little books as originally published."

      • soan papdi on 19/01/2012 - 09:16

        Well caught, I missed that. Description says "Hardcover: 400 pages".

  • [Deactivated] on 19/01/2012 - 23:04

    I bought this at Costco for 40 I think.

  • jd_aus on 20/01/2012 - 15:40

    Doh. Just missed out on Super Saver Free Shipping.

    "Free Super Saver Delivery to Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa on eligible orders over £25 was offered for a trial period on orders placed up to and including January 19, 2012 (GMT)."
