actually some book are more cheaper from amazon.com than buy it locally

Book Depository is doing a 10% discount again, but this time you will have to send a one off voucher to your friend on a different email address in order to get the discount.

Delivery is handled by the Malaysia post. How they would handle the parcel is no different than any other big deliveries. It all depends on the postman.

I live in the UK and it may take up to two weeks before my book arrives. Amazon.co.uk takes about 1 week too for free delivery. So I would consider delivery to Malaysia in three weeks + to be about right. If you don't get your books soon, drop them an email.

This is just a sidetrack from the thread but Mockingjay is a really amazing book! I liked the first of the series The Hunger Games better, but I thought Mockingjay was a really good closing to the whole trilogy Enjoy reading it!

i buy my books from acmamall...free delivery if you order more than 3 books...best of all...always hv discount...i buy my books when they hv 30% or higher discount. delivery abt 2 wks.

imagine a book at rm35.90 after 33% discount cost only rm24.05....each book abt rm10 less than in book stores.
i always wait until ihv more than 5 books or more before i order.
so far i hv used acmamall maybe abt 6x for the past 2 yrs.....no problem but once they screw up delivery when they send another guy's order to me but it was settled within another 3 days.

only problem is their website....sometimes u key in the title, their search program fails to locate the book...so i type in the isbn no.
you can also pre-order books or order hard to locate books, they will find for you.

Just tried ordering books from book depository. Although the prices are quite close to local market, but I do get my boxset for A song of ice and fire delivered in about 2 weeks. Free delivery and the packaging by royal mail is top notch.

Safer than credit card since you don't have to expose your CC number, paypal has buyer protection where you can dispute and get back your money anytime as long as it's on your side (example given tracking code shows item in nowhere or not exist), where CC you can call to revert your payments too.

I found that it is cheaper for you to place your order at bookdepository.com compare to bookdepository.co.uk.

You guys can compare the websites. I tried few times and there is really price difference.

you just need maybank visa debit card.

this is the tutorial to link card to paypal.

Hey ppl..i placed my order on the book depository end of last month and the book was dispatched on 1st July 2011..but i still havent receive my book yet =( i have emailed book depository and they confirmed the book already sent out. My address is correct as well. So i guess is the malaysia post problem..how do i track the postage in Pos Malaysia? by using the order code? btw..is it a normal post or registered post? Hope to hear from you guyz soon..thank you very much!

thanks for the info! some books are cheaper in bookdepository.com compare to .co.uk

but i also found out that some of the books are cheaper the other way round too.

I bought 5 books from bookdepository. 1 arrived after 3 weeks. 4 more still haven't arrived after 2 months+.

Not sure if our post office screwed up or they are stuck in customs awaiting censorship.

Mine was dispatched on 14th July but yet to received it. sigh.

Yeah, have to check both sites if you want to save more. Sometimes, competitions/offers appears first in the UK website too, like the summer thing they had going on last time.


Anyway, the fastest I've received a book from TBD was a week, slowest was about a month.
All books arrived separately even though ordered in one lot.
Paperback books arrived in padded envelopes while hardcover books in small, box-like envelope.
The only downside is you can't track your parcel; you just know it has been shipped.


Any of you guys have tried fishpond.com.my? The books are very cheap but I wonder if it's an error because even their worldwide site is not that cheap!

Just checked the website. Their books are superb cheap. Anyone order from there before?

try to google around, there are many negative feedback for fishpond.

does anyone know where can buy paulo coelho full collection? 13 books in 1.

Yup.. the last time i asked around about fishpond, people were saying i am trying to advertise. The products are cheap but reviews are very negative.

Their price list updated to USD. Now it make sense. The previous cheap price in MYR was a mistake.
