This is the best discount Lonely Planet has ever offered! Discount applies to RRP.
Offer not available on pre-orders and bundles. Offer ends 11am 19th July. Maximum 10 products per order. Offer excludes delivery charges. Free standard postage is automatically applied to all book orders from Australia over $60.
must be good with a nice from jv!
Details of the cashback please?
Doesn't look like LP have an affiliate programme anymore.
Does not combine with the July 30% off sale.
50% off applies to the RRP not the current price.
So for eg, when I add one of the travel guides currently selling for $34.99 (retails $49.99), it becomes $25 once I apply the code
Hmm, I look up the price of an eBook (PDF) and indeed I get 50% off. Price is about 7.5USD.
Then I change the country of delivery to AUS and the price jumps to about 12.5AUD (but still 50% off).
So I wonder if I can just leave the country of delivery as USA and checkout. No luck, the delivery address expected for a credit card is in the US. Presumably they will check the delivery country if I use Paypal.
How can they justify different prices when the delivery is electronic? Sounds like Australians are getting ripped off for books again.
Maybe I'll buy the Kindle version for $10. AFAIK Amazon doesn't discriminate on Kindle editions.
Let me preface this by saying I am not a role model.
When there is a completely baseless disparity like this for digital editions, I will often download the product illegally & shoot off an anonymous email to the author/distributor telling them what I have done & why!
I do this for movies where we get stiffed on release dates in comparison to the rest of the world too coughGreen Lanterncough! :D
Yeah that's wrong… but I felt I needed to vote you up for that idea.
i would cough too, green lantern was a horrible movie
i would cough too, green lantern was a horrible movie
LOL, yeah it wasn't great. It was, however, still better than the new Star Trek! ;)
I just left Lonely Planet an email saying there was a problem with their website and that I won't be buying another Lonely Planet guide until it is fixed. When is the ACCC going to start to do something about this over charging? It is so wide spread.
Thanks for this…was planning on buying a few for USA but they were/are so expensive now got 3 for 1!!!
now got 3 for 1!!!
shame they don't to maths guides…
Do*
Or spelling guides…
I'm not seeing the free postage show up. Trying to charge me $6.90.
Are you buying > $60?
Nope. Sorry, I looked at the title only. My bad.
The title should possibly be adjusted, though. Maybe:
50% off RRP on All Print and Digital Titles + Free Postage above $60
Great post - picked up 3 books!
got me very excited about travel again, but checked South East Asia on a Shoestring discounted on the lonely planet site [22.50], and book depository beat it by $1.15 [21.35] http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Southeast-Asia-on-Shoestring…
ooh and shipping if I was only buying the one? LP total 29.40.
always check booko.com.au first!
I borrow travel guides from the local library for free :)
I'm in Malaysia with a scanned copy of library LP guide on a cheap android phone. But at these prices will download a legitimate version as muzzamo suggests below.
If you are buying an ebook, make sure you select United states as your country of delivery. If you pay by paypal, you can then select a United States delivery address in order to make it work (it won't work with an Australian delivery Address)
I used the postage address for disneyland:
Disneyland Park 700 W. Ball Road
Anaheim, CA 92802-1843
United States
This resulted in, for example, Lonely Planet Malaysia Singapore and Brunei for USD $8.74 instead of AUD $14.70 after the secretsale code was applied and AUD $20.57 for the original ebook price.
Did they ever get married? or are they still living in sin?
Damn you thushan, now I have that song stuck in my head. ;)
The markup for aussie price seems excessive.
Take http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/world/the-asia-book-pictorial-1…
It's $9 for the US and $24.95 for oz.
I did 2 orders last week with their 30% off sale :(
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk still cheaper for all the ones i looked at (by avg $3 each). and free shipping even if you don't spend $60, so save even more.
nice…
