The Book Depository does seem to have had a rather up and down history the last couple of years. When I first moved to Denmark two-and-a-half years ago I used to buy most of my books from them - they were often cheaper than elsewhere and would ship for free, (and they seemed to have a fairly simplistic understanding of VAT rules = they are in the UK therefore anything bought from them is subject to UK VAT. UK VAT on books is zero - as compared with Denmark where it's 25%!). Then a couple of friends had non-deliveries. Then they stopped delivering to Denmark with no explanation. Now they deliver here again as far as I can tell.
Despite - or maybe because of - their slightly shambolic approach I kind of have a soft spot for them. I hope they get their ebook operation sorted soon and maybe once they do we will find some good deals.
