Your new 'local' bookstore

Ok, here goes time for a bit of a rant. Books. I love them, however since moving to Australia, access to cheap books has pretty much been non existent. It seems that this is one of many area's that companies really do overcharge us in the great land.How I miss popping down to the local supermarket and picking up a great read, a bit of pocket change could get you the latest James Paterson novel or someone of interest's Autobiography. It seems even places that sell cut price books such as Kmart or Target are way off the level of bargain I am used to.However whilst searching through the world wide web a few weeks ago I came across a British website selling books, cheap and with free "world wide delivery". I had to give them a try. So I found my way to www.bookdepository.co.uk and ordered my first title from them, How to lose friends and Alienate People, an awesome look into the life of a guy with all the opportunities and none of the motivation. I loved it. However back to the website. The books were ordered, quickly and easily. The website is very user friendly, searching and checkout also easily navigated and quick. Postage was SO quick, well packed and of course as mentioned free. This is a big blow to Australian book retailers, Borders etc should be ashamed charging what they do when a company 16,000km away can get the books here cheaper and just as quick as ordering online from an Aussie company.5/5 from me all my purchases will from now on go straight to the UK.

Can anyone comment as to why it was voted down

I think one of the unspoken rules of the Norg (at least as far as I’ve seen) is that you don’t link back to your own blog. Also, it might be that the related link should have been the depository since it’s not linked in the text.

The piece looked like an advert… Besides, I did my all buying from US portals while the $A was up. Pity it’s now slipped a bit…

I definitely see a place for stuff like this on the Norg, but I suppose one needs to create a trust with a community before they can get away with it. Good on you durx for coming back and asking.

Yeah for sure Bronwen, I do want to become an active part of the community and I would certainly not jeopardize that by posting an advert. I have made some staggering savings by shopping on line outside of AU and just wanted to pass some of the things I have learnt
