QUOTE(Blueye7788 @ May 10 2013, 12:57 PM) Hi Guys! I bought 4 books from BookDepository too but none arrive to my house after 4 weeks. I don't know if there is any postal problem to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Luckily BD refunded the money in full, though I have to absorb a slight exchange loss The books will probably still arrive. I usually give it about 6 weeks. |

QUOTE(Promusician @ May 11 2013, 07:40 AM) mine haven arrived also after 2 weeks+3 days, will contact them after 3 weeks. Be patient, it rarely arrives so soon. I'd wait at the very least 1 month. |

QUOTE(manjusaka @ May 15 2013, 10:57 AM) Hi! That expected date applies to countries with proper mail couriers, unlike Malaysia Mine was shipped on 30/4 and they said I can drop them an email if it hasn't arrived until 14/5. Since your experience says it takes kinda long to reach us, shall I wait for one month or just drop them an email saying that I haven't received it? Thanks!  I usually wait an extra week or 2 before contacting them. The reason why I do this is because if everyone complains to BD about late shipments they will have to refund/resend a lot of parcels. Eventually, selling to Malaysians will become unprofitable and they'll stop shipping to Malaysia. That's my worry. |

QUOTE(dfc16 @ Jun 25 2013, 12:21 PM) SuperSamurai... you only pay the price... I've not been charged shipping or tax before. 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.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. :-) |

QUOTE(ychwang @ Jun 28 2013, 01:39 AM) 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. Just out of curiosity I tried to order a book. Apparently they don't deliver outside of India.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 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. |

QUOTE(kenneth0 @ Aug 21 2013, 04:56 PM) 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. |
