Malaysian arrival for air parcel delivery sure is a real big bummer. Already placed my order and it was dispatched by BD over 4 weeks ago and no sign of it appearing yet. Really missed the delivery time I got in Europe, all orders received in an average of five days or less. Heck even Aussie average delivery for their orders is way better than this and they are located way further below across the continent to UK/US.

I really wonder if it's the lack of competent in our customs, postal or transport or a combination of thereof causing all the holdup.

Cronyism that causes.

Anyone received their BD books recently, mine have been aredi 1 month..

I received one!
Waiting for another one to come~

Yo guys, I'm new here. Just wanna know, if the graphic novel at book depository is $17, I'll only pay that $17 right? Or is there a tax? I've read the above posts and noticed that they don't include tax but that was 2-3 years ago.

Just wanna know how things work now

SuperSamurai... you only pay the price... I've not been charged shipping or tax before.

As for those waiting for their packages... it should get here. BD is quite reliable I've found though all the packages dont arrive at the same time. Which is strange cos it just costs them more in shipping.

:-)

Not really. BD play a fixed shipping rate to the postal provider. That means that they pay a fixed shipping fee to the postal company for all their books daily as long as it doesn't exceed a certain weight in total.

hmmm... interesting...

anyone interest to get book from www.amazon.in? just notice the book in this website is damn cheap, even cheaper 70% off compare to amazon.com usa site.
For example a USD20 = RM60 book is only sold for RM18 in amazon.in


the forex rate for ur reference.
100 rupee = RM1
$1 USD dollar = RM3.3

Just out of curiosity I tried to order a book. Apparently they don't deliver outside of India.

I'd be curious how much shipping from India to Malaysia would cost if we to get an agent to do the delivery from India.

kesian .. my book depository order .. dispatch at 1st July... till now also not yet arrive... zzzzzz

Mine was dispatched 24th June 2013 still have not arrived. I can wait no problem.

Mine shipped out on 11th July, haven't receive also. Wondering would it be due to the raya holidays, slows down delivery

Correct. I don't order anything from overseas during Raya, CNY and Christmas time. Crazy backlog and risk of losing your package due to high volume.

I remember someone posted on LYN that they ordered something around Christmas time and received it in June.

Agreed. But usually arrived, though late. If u want to read it urgently, dont order through BD.

Nowadays I'm using betterworldbooks. free delivery as well, and the books are 2nd hand, but in good and excellent condition, except those from libraries

their prices way cheaper, and delivery also not bad. sometimes 2-3 weeks. i can wait..

Haven't receive till today, probably will wait till 11th. then it would be 2 months, no choice but to file a refund request.

Stumbled across this site few months ago, http://www.betterworldbooks.com/.
They also advocate free shipping and are a charity organization fighting against world illiteracy.
Haven't bought anything from them though.

Can try BookUp.my. They are selling quite a number of used books. It will be great if the site really expands and take in more books.

I would like to import some books from an India website but can't find a proper shipping agent to Malaysia (with affordable shipping price). Anyone here has any idea?
