Free Books From Borders
I don’t know how long this will last so I will make this quick. Right now when you shop at Borders.com and use the code BR41925, five dollars will be taken off each item. Shop for items that are priced at $5 or less and get free stuff! The code does not work on clearance items. You can select store pick up to get free shipping. Hurry!
Update: If you get a message that reads “this service is temporarily unavailable” keep trying. I eventually got mine to go through.

It took me a very long time as well, but I did get my order to go thru. I took advantage of the free shipping with a 25.00 order but I got 9 childrens books for 25.80 -the sub total was 62.73 (some items were under 5.00 and one was on sale) But I just got a savings of 36.93.
July 29th, 2008 at 11:57 amWOW – I am getting a good start on my sons Halloween, Christmas and January Birthday gifts.
You are the best, thank you..thank you for sharing his coupon with me.
ok…how long does it take? i’ve been clicking “back” and “submit” for about 20 minutes…still telling me that it’s temporarily unavailable…
July 29th, 2008 at 3:26 pmI tried for awhile then decided to shrink the page down and come back to it later. When I came back I tried it a few more times and it eventually went through. I still haven’t gotten a confirmation email yet on my order but when I check my account it does show up. I REALLY hope it goes through!
July 29th, 2008 at 3:38 pmI got my confirmation email! Yeah!
July 29th, 2008 at 4:25 pmI’ve been hitting back and reload and submit order off and on now for over an hour, and so far still getting the “this feature is unavailable, please try back later” error, as well as the occasional java error when I back up to my order screen, just to spice things up. It doesn’t seem like the problem is with the promo code so much as Border’s online store just stinketh. It applies the code just fine, it’s only that final step of “Place my order” that it errors on. Hmm… Ah well, this one is too good to pass up, so I will keep trying…
July 29th, 2008 at 8:51 pmAt one point or another I got the same errors. I would think a company a big as Border’s would have a functioning website.
July 29th, 2008 at 9:03 pmIt’s still not working. Forget it; I give up. For now…
July 29th, 2008 at 9:38 pmHey really cool freebie i just added a ton of classics to my cart and this book that i can’t even find at any local book stores all under 5 bucks. I think their site is terrible though! It runs too slowly not even just the “temporarily unavailable” but just the site in general.. odd.
July 30th, 2008 at 1:06 amokay i tried for over an hour off and on still no luck i think i almost give up frustrating.. i did write them an email though saying how disappointed i was with the overall slowness of their site and how many error messages i received when trying to place an order.
July 30th, 2008 at 2:52 amDoes this work on used copies?
Thanks Angela
July 30th, 2008 at 7:49 amI don’t know, I didn’t try. You can test the code after adding just one book to your cart.
July 30th, 2008 at 7:57 amI guess it isn’t for the used books. I found this on the shopping cart:
Borders Rewards, gift cards, and other Borders promotions are not valid for purchases made on Borders Marketplace.
Thanks for your quick reply.

July 30th, 2008 at 8:10 amI just checked my order status and my items are showing as shipped. YEA !!
July 31st, 2008 at 2:22 pmMy girlfriend tried to place an order this afternoon and they was only able to get 5.00 her entire order.
Good for you … not so good for your friend. I wish I knew what was going on with my order but I can’t even get the page to load. I don’t expect much anymore with that site.
