hi guys, im gonna rush an order with bookdepository before the 20th so i can enjoy the discounts- i realised that mangas are so damn cheap compared to kino, which is like, the only place i know of which sells us-version manga.

however, one thing that's bugging me is the postal service. i stay in jb, and you know, all those things ive heard about poslaju... should i be concerned with poslaju? will my books arrive unharmed? have any of you ever lost your books thru poslaju?

i have a question on The Book Depository website, hope u guys could help me out smile.gif im interested in buying Gemma Townley's book titled Little White Lies. But i just couldn't understand why is it that they have 2 different prices on the same title? One is priced at $7.18 while the other one is $11.66. Moreover the one which is $11.66, the publication year is even much earlier than the $7.18. It doesn't state that it's a second-hand book either sad.gif Any solutions? Thanks!

Update : I have found the solution: it turns out that the cheaper one is Paperback, while the more expensive one is a Trade Paperback biggrin.gif

Well Bookdepository is trustworthy but sometimes Pos Malaysia will 'misplace' your books. My recent order (last month) of 4 books ended up with two of them being sent to another address! sad.gif shocking.gif Luckily the person was kind enough to drop off those two books at my place. biggrin.gif

But I suppose if the books really do end up getting lost, Bookdepository would issue you a refund.

I was wondering, will the Customs taxed our purchase(from BookDepo or Amazon) if the purchase is over RM500?


Anyone had the experience?

I just placed an order at Bookdepository on April 18. On the website it stated that orders will be dispatched within 24 hours, but mine took 2 days.

How long did your order took to arrive? I read on a blog (Malaysian), the author said around 3-4 weeks.. but I really need it fast coz it's my textbook..

well i just got my books from Book Depository. it usually took 48 hours to dispatched and usually will reach around 3-4 weeks (like the author had said) But they will separate your books though. If u order 2 books both will arrive on different days blink.gif but overall it's good my books arrived in good quality biggrin.gif

Very much cheaper. For example one of the books I got from BookDepository was retailing at USD30 (RM90) vs. RM130 at Kinokuniya.

I ordered 5 books from Book Depository earlier this month. Received 1 yesterday + 3 today. Still waiting for 1 more. A bit weird that they came in a package each. Books came via normal postman, I was expecting Pos Laju, but books are placed in bubble wrap envelopes, so condition is tip top. Nice! rclxms.gif

I wanted to try buying books from the borders online since there are some books that I find I can get it at a cheaper price.

However, I am facing the problem where I do not how to fill my address.
Since the website does not allowed special characters such as "/" or".", how should I write if parts of my address is Jalan 2/3 E, what can I put instead of the "/"


Added on June 2, 2011, 8:20 amFinally, solved my problem and turned to betterworldforbook.
Ordered two book and I am looking forward to reach my house.

For those who had bought books from this sites, anyone has idea that the how long will the books took to reach here?

Nice thread. I just ordered from the book depository. I do have a question, though. If the books are sent via normal mail, what if the parcel is larger than the mailbox? Will our friend the postman just throw it into the house compound like our other friend the newspaperman? Uh oh!

I've used book depository to buy my books online before! It's pretty good as the shipping packages are sturdy and the prices are reasonable. I buy my books online through Amazon.com as well, and Acmamall.com which offers free shipping to Malaysia orders! smile.gif

Well, nobody's answered my query about the book depository. Yet.

But I guess it applies to other online shops as well. If the books are sent via normal mail, what if the parcel is larger than the mailbox? Will our friend the postman just throw it into the house compound like our other friend the newspaperman?

Another question. How much does Amazon.com charge for shipping?

Anyway, acmamall.com is pretty new. I've heard that some of their books are priced cheaper than Kino's price. Others are more expensive.

Is it unusual for book depository to take well over 3 weeks to deliver the book?
