Well, why don't we hold our own referendum? A world referendum 🌏🗳. "Do you want Russia to leave the territory of Ukraine 🇺🇦 immediately?

This is your friendly reminder that @bookdepository does NOT offer free international delivery. They charge you more depending on where you order from to cover the cost. Pretty shady.

@jonathanliew Were you okay during the football weekly podcast last week? Someone drop kicked a cat and you don't see the big deal because there's a World Cup in Qatar? Think you need to seek some counselling.

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository Yes, I do, but you'll charge me 20% more for it because of the IP address I use to access your website from. #pricegouging

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository @BD_help I am still waiting for an explanation as to why the prices of your books are different depending on where the customer orders from, even if the delivery address is the same? Top = price shown to me. Bottom = price shown to my mother.

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository @hyeyeongieeee I wonder if she is aware she is paying up to 20% more just because of the location she acceses your website from? @hyeyeongieeee , are you aware of this? Do you believe it is a fair business practice?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@TinyTreeBooks @bookdepository @EmmaMylreaBooks @byhannahjesse No, you should not. They actively price gouge their customers depending on their location when they access their website, often by over 20%. Choose an honest provider with a clear pricing policy, not a 'free international delivery' scam. It isn't free, it's made up in the price.

@nerdwala @bookdepository Here is how much the book would have cost you if you had ordered from a different location... Almost a 25% difference. Care to explain, @BD_help ?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository Depending on where your home is, @bookdepository will charge you 20% more for exactly the same product. If you ask them why, expect to be ghosted by their CS when you call them out on their lies about this being stated on their website.

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository @BD_help The exact same item on your website right now accessed from two different locations, with the same delivery address entered.

One is 8.79GBP, the other 6.96GBP. Why?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@BD_help Perhaps you could reply as your CS email won't and @bookdepository won't. Why are you charging me up to 20% more for books than my mother, who is accessing your site from the UK, to the same delivery address, in the UK? Isn't this price gouging? Is it fair?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository It is now 12 hours since your CS agent simply stopped replying to me, with my last email asking where on your website you states that your charge people up to 20% more depending on where they access your website from. Any reason he stopped replying?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@ForDummies did you know @bookdepository are charging customer different prices for your books depending the IP Address they access the website from? Are you comfortable with this price gouging of your books? Do you believe it is fair?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository For your birthday, will you be putting in place a transparent pricing policy so people can see you are charging them 20% more depending on the country they access your website from?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository I've mastered the skill of calling out companies that are price gouging their customers. Number 1 on my list is @bookdepository

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository Why do you charge up to 20% more depending on the location people order from? Why did your CS originally lie to me and say this policy is stated on your website? Why doesn't your CS reply to my email? Why don't you reply to my tweet with receipts? Is what you're doing legal?

[Alexander Walsh @AlexSRWalsh]

@bookdepository Are you price gouging? Here are two identical orders to exactly the same address in the UK. Yet, they are completely different prices. One from an IP address in the UK (cheaper), one from an IP address in Korea (more expensive). Please explain.

@socarmalaysia finally called me, and told me the will charge me if I do not drive their broken, poorly maintained, damaged car back to a 'socar zone'. What company tries to force customers to drive dangerous cars with the bottom scraping along the road?
