What Our Customers Say

I have made several orders so far and have been very impressed with the speed of delivery and quality of the books! Very fair pricing and delivery fee (even better now that there is no extra charge for rural delivery), and the sweet notes left on the order slip are an added bonus! Will definitely be ordering again in the future

My Nan was in Waikato Hospital, very bored with nothing to do. I live in Australia so I searched for a local bookshop, so I could post her some books to pass the time. This amazing store hand delivered the parcel to my Nan the very next day. Best service ever! Highly recommended :)

I absolutely recommend Books For Less NZ. I ordered my books on Friday and received them today,Tuesday. Fantastic service, considering we are in L4.

— Julia

Highly recommend this awesome small business. My books got here over night and they are in such awesome condition, I even got a note on my packing slip which was so sweet. The books are such good prices and it’s makes it so affordable for people like me who are students and can’t normally afford books through the semester. So thank you so much for all your awesome work, can’t wait to buy more off you.

— Hayden

My book order arrived super fast and all books were in the expected great secondhand condition. I found the Books For Less NZ website a bit by accident but will definitely be buying from them again - in fact I’m already checking the new arrivals each week. Thanks again. You’re providing a great service to books and readers.
