I have used Booksamillion multiple times and have always been pleasantly surprised at their excellent prices, service and delivery (and this is compared to other online bookstores I've used). Compared to Amazon.com, I would say that Booksamillion is just slightly below Amazon in terms of product selection and usability of website, but is pretty much on par in terms of customer service, and can often beat Amazon’s prices, almost on every book if you are a Booksamillion club member. And compared to Buy.com (which is okay, but far more limited selection), E-campus (which is basically the worst online bookstore on the Internet, and I will continue to bash them on every review I have a chance unless they can make up for the mess they made of my order), and Overstock (which is okay, but also lacks some service).
If you are a Bookamillion club member, I have found it is typically the lowest price on almost ANY book. However, the membership is only for a year so if you don't order books often then it may not be worth the membership fee. Overall, their service is quite good (on par with Amazon.com), their shipment was always prompt and they always included special goodies with the order (eg, bookmarks, magazines, etc). always pleasantly suprised. And you can't beat free shipping (when you reach their minimum amount, which is easy to meet) and discount coupons (you'll get these in your inbox once in a while if you're on their mailing list). Overall, it’s one of top online bookstores.
