I have been doing book orders for school and was amazed by the real discounts that BooksDirect offered. Even if Booktopia offers an additional 5% discount to school libraries, BooksDirect still undercuts them. Many of their titles are offered at a standard 20% off retail prices with free shipping if the order exceeds $300.
Not every book on sale on BooksDirect will undercut Booktopia, but it could be as many as half the books being offered below the prices listed on Booktopia.
Like any online bookstore, some titles may not be available on either site, but it has made a difference, and allowed to stretch the pennies a little further.
Have you used BooksDirect? What do you think of them?
