The Aussie Swap discussion

So I am on the book depo, playing with my wish list and of late I have realised .com is a little cheaper... So now I am considering moving my wishlist over bbut I don't know... so my question is... Which book depo do you use? it's a shame we can't link wish lists

See thats why I usually look on .co.uk I like those covers better LOL!

Oh wow, I didn't even realise there was a .com Book Depo. Could've saved a few dollars on my last order, but at least I know for next time. Thanks for letting me know!

haha no prob! You know what confuses me. The accounts are liked when it comes to logins and sales history by the wishlists wont sync

The US one has only recently become the cheaper option with the way the Aussie dollar has risen against the US. Previously (last year and the first half of this year) it was neck and neck with the UK prices, I found the UK to be cheaper most times, so pretty much used the UK one.

I do use Booko a lot to find the cheaper edition of books: http://booko.com.au/

Interestingly, I think when I order from the US TBD, it gets to me faster (within 2 - 3 weeks). Sometimes the UK TBD takes up to a month to get to me :/

I know, right? doesn't make sense.

I LOVE booko.com.au! its my LOVE child hehe!!

Nomes, its just so crazy! I wonder if they realise how much more WONDERFUL they would be if they allowed us to sync lists

Sorry guys, I'm confused. The Book Depository is based in the UK whether you use .com or .co.uk.
Or are you talking about Amazon? I know Amazon UK has free shipping to Aus if you spend over 25 pounds...you still have to pay shipping with the American one....

No no, so the two websites, while both tech from the uk have different prices and wishlists but the same login and shipping history

OH and different Affiliates programs

Oh ok then. will have to check that out. thanks

I also check Booko before buying any books!

I use whichever is cheaper. So this year I have been using the US site but last year I was using the UK site because it was cheaper. I have also noticed like Nomes that it takes longer for a book to arrive if I ordered it from the UK website.. and I hate that I can't link my wishlist's :(

I love Booko! I have it on my Favourites Bar so that it's only one click away :)

I'm SOOOO confused, there is two Book Depos???? WHAT O_O I just type 'Book Depo' into google and use the first one that comes up - which I think is the .com one....

UK Website: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/
US Website: http://www.bookdepository.com/

I've checked them both now. The UK one seems to be more expensive. Thanks for clearing that up!

I’ve used both since I found book depo. Some of you guys are seriously behind.

Didn't realise there was 2. Lucky though, I've always used the .com!

There are two?? *smacks my forhead*
And OMG!!!! This Booko caper!! Where has it been all my life? Thanks for dragging me from under my rock into the 21st century.

Booko is AWESOME sauce

I use the .com site (though I did use UK more in past). Booko is usually my go-to site just to make sure there isn't an Aussie site with a matching price.

Not sure about all of you, but I have different wishlists and order histories between the .com and .uk sites, though I use the same log-in.

A quick Google search is ALL it takes to know that there are 2 Book Depos.

Cass I have different wishlists but the same order history its odd

TBD have another 10% off deal running atm. Just add books to your wishlist then into your basket, and enter YB5BXU in the 'Coupon Code' box before 9th November.

you dont even need to add it to your wishlist they are soo awesome! but will that code work? i thought we were each given diff codes because it is a use once deal

I have never used the UK one. I usually prefer US covers anyhow and it's been cheaper since I've been using it...

I totally was unaware of the US one!! I've started transferring over my wishlist since it seems like for the most part the US one is heaps cheaper. I think I'll cheap my UK wishlist for covers I like more though. :)

Thanks for the tip!

My wishlist is in my uk one but I buy mostly off of america .. maybe i should swap it open but its 10 pages lol

It's painful! I started.. but I transferred about 10 items over and gave up. lol I'll definitely continue to use it though to compare costs! Handy. :D

Im transferring now but if I like the UK covers then it stays on the UK list LOL

this is why Booko.com.au rocks

gah bored now... but 1/4th of the way through

yeah i quit lol

I bought my Kris Kingle pressie off Book Depo.com.uk last night... I think it was was more expensive but I was not thinking straight....*sigh*
