Awesome Place to Buy Manga or Books

This place was in the herald today for buying books and I have discovered it also sells manga. I haven't had a chance to look but I suspect it is mostly mainstream manga. Anyway the prices mostly sit between $10 and $20 dollars although being a UK site it is in pounds and also will vary with exchange rates. Still it appears to be a lot cheaper than buying most manga in NZ. Also they do free shipping worldwide, which is pretty awesome I think.

Ooh I read that article, it was the place quoted to be way cheaper than NZ.

Free worldwide shipping? Thank you~

Edit: Range seems alright, maybe 90% we could get in NZ (I wished I lived in wellington for Pulsar Max, I love their range T^T).

Am looking at buying a couple of volumes from there. Do you know how long it'd take to get here?

There is also this place:
https://www.goodbooksnz.co.nz/

Which has manga generally around the $13/$14 range, free shipping and apparently all profits go to some organisation to do with poverty (so I don't have a clue how they make a profit out of it, but it's cheap manga? 8D?)

I find Fishpond expensive, lol. And a quick search found The Nile average and Ziwi only cheap if something is on special xDDD

Oh, www.bookzone.co.nz have manga between $15-17, and you can ship in anything from America by flicking them an email (they don't tend to list manga on their site directly xD)

Edit: The thread title should change to "Awesome Places" xP

@Pura; Yea, Fishpond used to be way cheaper. I remember getting ToBabi 6 & 7 and The One I Love off there for just over $50. Now everythings around $25 ;A; I usually use it to see when books are supposed to be coming out.

Mum's ordered from there before - it took about a week I think?

Thanks for the link! I just took a look, a LOT cheaper than NZ books...definitely thinking of getting something from there.

The Herald also listed books as the no 1 rip off in NZ. xP

Yeah, that is why I was on the site in the first place :) I like books but honestly, the amount they cost here is insane!
