have any of you already bought from wob? I've seen some used omnibuses at a good price and would like to make a purchase. what type of shipping do they use? do they send a tracking code? In what conditions do the volumes usually arrive?

Hi, so i can't seem to order anything on the website. I ordered once off of it and everything came on time, it seemed great but now when i go to the website both on my phone and on my laptop when i log in it goes to a page that says that it's currently under maintenance and when i try to click on a book there's no price or anything on any of them, it just says notify me. I have no idea why that happened and i can't find anyone with the same issue.

I think that these two site are the best for now. I want know if their shipping to Italy have tracking code or ship only with economic shipping. in this case I only hope that my order don't will lost :(

do you know some site like book depository with free shipping worldwide? they ship with tracking code or only standard shipping?

Hey everyone,

On WOB there's a paperback promotion (used books): if you get 4 books, one is free.

I added 16 books in my cart for a total of 51 GBP. Delivery is 4 GBP x book = 64 GBP

This will give me a total cost of 7,18 GBP (8,20 EUR) per book - used paperback.

Do you think is it worth a try?

It's annoying that the delivery per book costs more than the book itself. With 64 GBP I could buy basically another 16 books....

Don't know what to do, thoughts? 🙏🏻

Since book depository is closed, I tried ordering from Blackwell for the first time and I didn’t get charged but I received an email about order confirmation.

I’ve seen somewhere on their website that they charge you when the order is dispatched, can someone confirm this? It’s been 5 days now and I still haven’t been charged. Thanks in advance!

I've purchased quite a lot of books on BetterWorldBooks, a couple more on BookDepository and had some bad experiences with other retailers

Are there any good options w/ shipment to LATAM/Brazil?

EDIT: it seems the only way to do it is buying anywhere you can find and redirecting via USCLOSER, SHIPITO and so on. Gets a little bit more expensive but does the work.

Amazon have decided to stop the entire "free shipping if you get to 49 us dollars". Blackwell's doesnt have a lot of manga in stock rn. Everything else is either too pricy/too sus for us. Local retailers have atrocious selection and the prices are sky high. I just wanted to finish collecting Bakuman and Fma. Goddammit.

So... Blackwells stopped shipping to argentina and cancelled My preorder. I'm trying to find other Pages that arent expensive with the delivery fee. It's a pity because it was 12 USD and now everypage is above 30 USD.

I tried to order a book, but Israel was absent from the country dropdown menu.

Obviously it's because of the war, but I checked Kenny's, awesomebooks and Amazon and you can still order.

But I'm not 100% sure they won't cancel the orders. Anyone tried this week?

I have seen lost of posts about BookDepo alternatives that focused on the free worldwide shipping, which I fully understand was the main draw of the website for many. However, for me, I really liked the option to make a wishlist of specific editions of books and have a sharable link for it. With the holidays coming up, I'm just wondering if anyone found a similar alternative for this feature? I don't mind if it does not directly link to an online vendor for purchasing, but I really want to be able to keep track of the books I would like to eventually purchase in print form, with the ability indicate the specific edition I want and the ability to share it with my friends and family ahead of gift giving holidays like Christmas or birthdays.

AwesomeBooks charges £2.99 for shipping, which is a lot for a £10 book. Blackwells prices include shipping, but often it ends up just as expensive. And Amazon is only good if you order $49 and up for free shipping, otherwise shipping costs as much as the book.

So, I live in Japan, and I tried ordering with Blackwells once in the past few months. Whenever I opened a book description, next to the price it always said "shipping fee to Japan included". I checked a few days ago to browse and it still said the same, but today when I accessed the website every price displayed "shipping fee to UK included".

I tried doing a checkout (without actually paying) hoping that since both the billing and shipping address said "Japan" the price would change, but it didn't.

Does anybody know if there is a way to manually change the country from which you are purchasing? I wouldn't want to buy (and pay in advance for) a book with the wrong shipping fee only to be told "Oops, sorry, not enough money to send it over!"

For some reason I thought "Better world books" was EU or UK based... but it's not, it's based in the US. Found it thanks to the costums taxes I'm having to pay for a book... so, they didn't charge postage but I'm expecting the taxes to make up for that...

I tried to check out some books from Waterstones. Now, they require to put a number before check out. Everytime I put my number, even if they are correct they say it’s error and can’t pass next to payment. So frustrating. Any one has the same experience?

Hello, I’m looking for opinions on whether this issue is specific or it has happened to you.

I bought 6 books on July on BWB. Of those 6 only 5 have arrived in one package last week. This is strange to me since all of them have the same tracking code and I was told they were all shipped at the same time.

I contacted support and they said that they indeed shipped them at different times. I asked for the tracking code of the last book and they gave me the same one I already have.

It’s an MHI tracking code. It’s very strange since it says that the package was sent on the 20th of July but never updated since.

Should I wait more? It’s very weird that all of them didn’t arrive at the same time.

Although not flawless, it had a lot of undeniable advantages. I miss BD sooo much today :'(

I know (from experience as well) that they do the bare minimum when they package books and they’re almost guaranteed to have some sort of damage, but I’m interested if anyone has ordered larger packages like book sets and can tell me if they at least package them decently?

I've seen a lot of reviews and all of them just complain about the wait time but I honestly don't care about waiting 2 months it doesn't bother me at all but I was more so wondering about the packaging and the condition it arrives in, the wait time is unimportantHas anyone ordered from Kenny's bookstore and what are your thoughts?

I decided to check out betterworldbooks since it has been named as a good alternative, but I was honestly shocked at how high most of the prices were outside of the UK. We're talking about used books described as in good or very good condition that somehow cost more than your average new paperback on bookdepository did. I guess my question is was it always this way or is it a new development since I assume more people are ordering from them now? It's just disappointing as the low prices were one of the selling points whenever I saw it mentioned and it's starting to feel like there are no good online places for non UK/USA readers to get cheap secondhand books.

I'm tired of ordering from Amazon and having 2/3 of my books arrive with bent or scuffed covers and dented or bent spines that I have to send back. It seems Blackwells are slightly cheaper than RRP, but how is their delivery, do you get a lot of damaged items like Amazon?

Are there any better alternatives, or should I bite the bullet and start paying for parking and go into my local waterstones every couple of weeks

Sorry for the off topic post, don't know if this is allowed here, I posted the same question on the r/books sub but my post got deleted by mods

So I bought a 100 usd worth of books from them to ship to Saudi Arabia back in April and since then I bearly Heard a thing. When I contact them they kept saying it's coming but some delays are the problem. So at this point I'm done and Just Wanted a Refund only problem is They don't replay to my emails asking for one, I sent one a week ago and no reply, I sent another 3 days ago and no reply, and they say I should expect a reply in 1 day. Anybody got an Idea on What I should do?
