    Theres a couple of good Usborne deals

    Sorry if i'm wrong but I think this is a link to your own website. we aren't meant to advertise our businesses on here

    Also I think most of the deals are actually available from the book people for less than what is on this website so it may be worth checking there first.

    Also Redhouse is another good website that has deals on Usborne books as well

    I thought it was. As I said all these packs are (or have been) available in some shape or form from Book people or Redhouse.

    I sold Usborne books for a time but found it not to be worthwhile as so many of the books are now available at a cheaper price. There is no way these book have come from the Usborne stock as they only every have 2 or 3 offer and even then they are nowhere near as good as the bookpeople.

  • I have used the book people for years and think they are fantastic. I have never, so far, had any problems with them. I just ordered the Roald Dahl set - lovely.
  • I agree they are fab I have a couple of boxes of books in the cupboard just ready for christmas - the sales are great, thats when I stock up!
  • Soz if I upset people :rolleyes: - I do have very good offers that you dont get on other sites as there specific and you cannot get them on others - I'm just trying to make an honest buck, feed the kids etc. Gotta try! If you want me to delete - I dont have a problem with that.
    We Usborners get fed up with being undercut when we cannot even buy them at the prices others sell them for, the only thing we can do is sell the full range instead of one or two. I try with special offers of my own, yes I get them from Usborne and one pack have been available elsewhere, but the others are offers only available to Usborners, so you buy of your local rep if you want.I only started 6 months ago and love it just to read them myself. One day I'll move onto bigger things and you'll see me begging on dragons den!

    I'll delete link now.

    Whoever posted after - please delete link and dont fancy a good spanking for trying to compete against the big wigs!

    I've had problems with the bookpeople not sending books, keeping money themselves and being very rude over the phone :/ Wouldn't touch with a barge pole, i've given p trying to get the £25 they owe us back.
