Looking for a website that sells books but ships for free... (specifics)

Awhile back, I came across a British website that operated very much like Amazon.com, but it provided free shipping for all of the books you ordered from it.

Does anyone happen to recall what this website is? I'd really like to order some books right now but Amazon.com's shipping fees are ridiculous for the amount of books I'm intending to purchase.

    Doesn't amazon.co.uk have super saver shipping for most items? the Super Saver FAQ seems to indicate that everything does.

    Yeah, but I don't think that does international.

    I'm looking for a website that specifically did free international shipping.

    Book Depository does free shipping to most of the world.

    http://www.play.com/ Is British, and ships for free. Sells DVDs, CDs, Books, etc.

    I tend to use it more than Amazon, as it tends to be cheaper to me personally.

    Play is a good option, especially since they have something similar to Amazon's marketplace. For example, the above mentioned Book Depository sells via Play.
