    I thought you had discovered one that had free deliveries. Now I'm all disapointed :( But I suppose it is one of the hardhips we who live in small countries have to bear. :)

    ah well its not too bad i suppose, its ok when you order a good few books as the delivery charge is kinda spread out over all the books or that is how i look at it. or its ok if you getting a good deal on a book to make up for it. Ah well for the time being i think i'll just stick with the shops on dawson street.

    www.bookdepository.co.uk is my favourite site for books. They're cheap (usually tell you their price and amazons to compare) and have free delivery to Ireland and are delivered quite quick

    I used to use Play.com for books (free shipping) but since I found bookdepository I have never looked back, they have good prices, free delivery and delivery to Ireland is much quicker than Play, books usually arrive in about four days.

    Is it possible to have give a separate shipping address (as opposed to billing address) on bookdepository?

    I have never tried but the option is there in your account settings....so I will say 'yes'..though you might run into trouble validating your credit card, sometimes these will flag it as a fraudulent trade if your delivery address is not the same as billing address but give it a try it should work.

    And I only went and ordered 4 books on Amazon last night! 10 euro for postage.

    Will be checking out those suggestions next time. Thanks!
