Hey, I'm new to online bookstore.  I know this site through the previous post: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk

1.Can I know what do I need if I want to buy a book in that site? Credit card? Is it safe?
2.It is stated there that free delivery, that means the price listed there is the only price I need to pay?
3. I'm totally new to this, so anyone can provide procedures, instructions or reminders for me?

Btw, the novel I want to buy is Mockingjay. It is about RM40 here but it's only $8.19, as stated in that site. I would save a lot if I can buy it online! Thank you for your helps!  biggrin.gif

1) You'll need an account and credit card is fine.
2) Yes but just check when you're checking out, if you need to pay any delivery charges, it will be stated before you confirm your purchase.

Book depository is doing a 10% discount if anyone is interested. Just use May11 at checkout.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
